Explore the many ways we work with public sector organizations like yours.
We help organizations determine the allowable use of funds while adhering to specific program requirements, grant terms, and conditions. We assist with applicable regulatory rules and requirements (such as Uniform Guidance for Federal Awards), risk mitigation, efficient use of funds, reporting, audit readiness, and performance improvement.
Maintaining compliance can help organizations avoid penalties and audit findings, keep their funding, and enhance their chances of securing future funding opportunities. Demonstrating compliance can enhance organizational reputation by demonstrating a commitment to accountability and effective use of funds.
By evaluating organizations against defined objectives, a performance audit identifies areas of inefficiency, waste, or noncompliance. The insights gained can guide strategic decisions, streamline processes, and enhance productivity and performance. Ultimately, this process can lead to improved service delivery, cost savings, and increased value for stakeholders.
Our deep understanding of generally accepted government auditing standards (Yellow Book) and performance audit standards combined with our custom approach and tools help us deliver services for public sector clients.
An incurred cost audit can confirm that costs claimed by a contractor or subrecipient on a cost-reimbursable contract are allowable, allocable, and reasonable under the contract terms and applicable regulations.
By confirming the accuracy of these costs, an incurred cost audit can prevent overbilling, enhance financial transparency, and maintain good relations between the contractor or subrecipient and the funding agency. Our services can also help organizations comply with regulatory requirements, thereby avoiding potential penalties or disputes.
We offer both financial and programmatic subrecipient monitoring for organizations granting funding to recipients or subrecipients. These services can include conducting risk assessments, developing monitoring resources such as checklists, tools, and procedures, performing desk reviews and site visits, creating monitoring reports reviews, and providing technical assistance and training.
By monitoring the activities of subrecipients, organizations can verify that funds are used as intended, in compliance with the terms and conditions of the grant or contract, and in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
Our examination, review, and agreed-upon procedures (AUP) services can provide varying levels of assurance on financial or compliance information. The type of engagement requested will depend on the needs of stakeholders.
These services can offer varying levels of assurance that financial statements and specific financial or compliance information are free from material misstatement. They also can enhance the credibility of the financial information of a specific area, build trust with stakeholders, facilitate decision-making, and identify potential issues.
