Audit Approach
We believe that it is necessary to maintain a small staff of highly experienced individuals in order to provide quality audits. This is a result of our understanding of the highly specialized areas which are encountered in audits. Our audit staff has an average of 10 years of experience. As a result, you will not need to train our staff on auditing issues.
All audit staff have experience in performing audits in accordance with the Single Audit Act, Government Auditing Standards and the Uniform Guidance for Federal Awards, (2 CFR Part 200). Extensive experience has been acquired by our staff in audits under all major federal government branches.
We also believe that each audited entity should receive something from their audit other than just a “rubber stamp” of approval. For this reason we place a great amount of effort in our report to administration which includes recommendations regarding internal controls and operational issues. We will work closely with the administration in developing meaningful and helpful recommendations.
Our firm’s utilizes the audit process to provide savings benefits to our clients. Our audit team has extensive experience with school accounting issues, enabling us to identify key areas where the District can increase funding. These savings have been realized through identifying additional At-risk students and eligible pupils, as well as determining additional route mileage and implementing recommendations to improve transportation reporting. The annual savings from these areas have often exceeded the audit fees incurred by our clients.
