Where We Can Help
Managing and accurately reporting ARPA fund disbursements is crucial to minimizing project risks and preparing for future public and regulatory scrutiny regarding their allocation.
We provide a wide range of audit and assurance services, including financial audits, forensic audits, compliance audits, reviews, compilations, agreed-upon procedures, and other attestations.
The typical government accounting department is frequently asked to do more with less. A rational plan for allocating scarce resources will help alleviate this burden.
Build an ESG strategy addressing your organization’s goals and key metrics, E.U. and U.S. regulations, and stakeholders’ expectations with guidance from our professionals.
Our seasoned teams bring abundant knowledge and technical experience to assist government internal audit departments in assessing, enhancing, and optimizing their operations.
Single Audit
Single audits are crucial regulatory requirements that allow government and not-for-profit entities to continue receiving and utilizing their federal grants and awards.
Our Uniform Guidance (single audit) and grant agreement compliance audits take a value-added approach that meets regulatory standards and provides organizational insights. We assess your organization’s internal controls environment against program standards and offer recommendations for efficiency.
