Independent audits for nonprofit organizations — including Uniform Guidance single audits where federal funding requires one — delivered in time for the board meeting or grant report that is driving the deadline.
Performed under Generally Accepted Auditing Standards and, where federal funding requires it, Government Auditing Standards and Uniform Guidance.
What a nonprofit audit asks for, plus the single audit determination worked through in plain language — written for finance directors and board treasurers.
Board meetings and grant reporting dates are the whole reason the schedule exists. The calendar is built backward from the date your board needs the report in hand.
Independence rules do not permit a firm to audit financial statements it prepared. For many smaller organizations the more useful arrangement is that we perform the audit while your bookkeeper or another firm handles the accounting. We settle which role we can take in the first conversation.
Generally when the organization expends federal awards above the Uniform Guidance threshold during the fiscal year. It turns on what was expended, not what was awarded — a distinction that catches a lot of organizations. We will work through the calculation with you before you commission anything.
That is the date we build the calendar around. Board and grantor deadlines are the reason the schedule exists.
No. If we prepare the statements, another firm must perform the audit.
First audits take longer. The most common friction is documentation of donor restrictions and in-kind contributions — we flag what to start gathering as soon as the engagement is signed.
Fiscal year end, federal expenditure level, and the date your board or funder needs the report. We will tell you what the engagement requires.
