FAQ
Do I need an audit or a review?
Audits are typically required by lenders, investors, regulators, or governing agreements and provide the highest level of assurance on financial statements. Reviews provide limited assurance through analytical procedures and inquiry and are often appropriate when full audit assurance is not required.
How do advisory services differ from assurance?
Assurance services involve the independent evaluation of financial reporting and compliance. Advisory services focus on improving financial processes, strengthening internal operations, managing risk, and supporting strategic decision-making.
How should we prepare for an audit?
Preparation typically includes organizing financial records, supporting documentation, reconciliations, and key schedules in advance of fieldwork. Our team works closely with clients throughout the process to establish timelines, coordinate requests, and help the engagement proceed efficiently.
When is a Single Audit required for nonprofits?
Nonprofit organizations that expend $1,000,000 or more in federal funding during a fiscal year are generally required to undergo a Single Audit under Uniform Grant Guidance requirements. We assist organizations with compliance, SEFA reporting, and audit preparation.
