Professional Services for the Government Industry
As full-time government advisors, we understand that governmental entities do not operate independently but in an increasingly complex web of local, state, and federal relationships. We know how these relationships work, what they mean at the local level, and how every public organization’s focus on resource management is critical to success. Nationally, we audit numerous governments participating in the Government Finance Officers Association's (GFOA) Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting program, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) disaster recovery reimbursement programs, and other state and federal reimbursement grants.

Our seasoned teams bring abundant knowledge and technical experience to assist government internal audit departments in assessing, enhancing, and optimizing their operations.

Single audits are crucial regulatory requirements that allow government and not-for-profit entities to continue receiving and utilizing their federal grants and awards.
