What Verdica's 820 score means for Logan Jones
Logan Jones in Colorado received a composite score of 820 out of 850, placing the entity in the "excellent" band (800–850). This score reflects strong overall compliance across the three dimensions Verdica measures: licensing credentials, PCAOB audit history, and disciplinary record.
A score in this range indicates that Logan Jones meets or exceeds regulatory expectations in all measured areas. For a business owner or client evaluating this provider, an 820 score suggests low compliance risk relative to the accounting provider population. The gap of 30 points from a perfect 850 is typical even for well-performing entities, as it reflects minor variations in sub-score performance rather than material concerns.
Readers should interpret this as a positive indicator of regulatory standing, though it is important to remember that Verdica's composite score captures only what state and federal regulators publish. It does not measure service quality, pricing, communication, or customer satisfaction—those are separate due-diligence questions.
How the sub-scores break down
License & Credentials (810/850): This sub-score reflects whether Logan Jones holds active, valid licenses and maintains required professional credentials in Colorado. A score of 810 indicates that licensing records are in good standing. In the accounting field, this typically means the provider holds the appropriate CPA or other relevant certifications and has met renewal and continuing education requirements set by the Colorado State Board of Accountancy. A notably lower score in this dimension would suggest lapses, restrictions, or credential challenges.
PCAOB Record (810/850): The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) oversees audits of public companies and their brokers/dealers. This sub-score reflects findings from PCAOB inspections and enforcement actions. A score of 810 suggests that any audit quality findings on record are limited in scope or severity. PCAOB publishes inspection results that may identify deficiencies in audit procedures, documentation, or quality controls. A declining PCAOB score would typically signal repeated or systemic audit quality concerns.
Disciplinary (850/850): This is a perfect sub-score, indicating no public disciplinary actions, complaints, or sanctions on record with Colorado state regulators or the PCAOB. In the accounting industry, disciplinary records capture outcomes from investigations into ethical violations, negligence, fraud, or rule breaches. A perfect score here is a straightforward positive signal.
What regulators in CO track for accounting providers
Colorado's state accounting board and the PCAOB maintain public registries and enforcement records that Verdica uses to construct these scores.
The state board registration data tracks whether a provider holds a valid license, has completed continuing professional education (CPE), and has no active disciplinary findings. Colorado requires CPAs to renew licenses and complete CPE hours on a scheduled basis.
The PCAOB inspects firms that audit public companies. These inspections result in findings about audit quality, engagement procedures, and compliance with auditing standards. PCAOB also maintains an enforcement docket of disciplinary actions against firms and individuals. Scores move based on the number, severity, and recency of findings.
Together, these data sources provide a window into regulatory compliance history—not real-time service delivery, but rather a track record of whether a provider has passed formal oversight checks.
Bottom line
Logan Jones scores in the excellent range with no disciplinary record, suggesting strong regulatory standing in Colorado. Anyone considering this provider should verify that the scope of their services (audit, tax, consulting, etc.) matches the entity's credentials, and should independently confirm references and fee arrangements with existing clients.
