Practice Areas

Audit & assurance for organizations entrusted with public resources.

Framed Around Outcomes

Audit services are usually described in technical procedures. We prefer to describe them by the outcome they create: public confidence, regulatory certainty, stakeholder trust, financial integrity, accountability.

Below is the work we do — each engagement scoped to the standards your regulators, funders, or board actually apply.

01

Governmental Audits

Public confidence in your financial reporting.

Annual financial audits for cities, counties, joint powers authorities, and component units — prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, Government Auditing Standards (GAS), and the latest GASB pronouncements.

  • Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports (ACFR)
  • Basic financial statements & MD&A review
  • GASB implementation support (75, 87, 96, etc.)
  • Board & audit committee presentations
02

Special District Audits

Compliance certainty for the agencies that keep California running.

Water, sanitation, fire protection, parks & recreation, healthcare, and community services districts — scoped to the statutes, principal acts, and oversight bodies that govern you.

  • Independent financial audits
  • Enterprise vs. governmental fund reporting
  • Rate study and reserve policy review
  • State Controller's report support
03

Single Audits

Federal awards spent — and reported — with integrity.

Uniform Guidance (2 CFR Part 200) Single Audits with the program-level discipline funders and pass-through entities expect.

  • Major program determination
  • Internal control & compliance testing
  • Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA)
  • Findings, corrective action plans, and resolution support
04

Nonprofit Audits

Donor trust, board confidence, regulator clarity.

Independent audits for 501(c)(3) organizations, private foundations, charter schools, and faith-based institutions — produced to the standard your stakeholders deserve.

  • GAAP financial statement audits
  • Functional expense allocation review
  • Form 990 coordination
  • Restricted-net-asset & endowment compliance
05

Compliance Audits

Regulatory exposure, identified and resolved.

Grant compliance, program audits, and agreed-upon procedures aligned to the framework your funder, regulator, or board actually requires.

  • Grant-specific compliance audits
  • Agreed-upon procedures (AUP)
  • HUD, DOE, DOJ & state program audits
  • Internal control assessments
06

Advisory & Accounting Support

A finance function ready for the next audit cycle.

Year-round support so the engagement does not begin at fieldwork. We work with your CFO, finance director, or executive director between cycles.

  • GASB & FASB implementation
  • Internal control consultations
  • Interim accounting & close support
  • Audit-readiness reviews

Public trust begins with financial integrity.
