Frequently Asked Questions
We compiled a list of answers to address your most processing questions regarding our Industries.
A Single Audit is a rigorous financial and compliance review required for any local government, school district, or public agency that spends $750,000 or more in federal funding within a single fiscal year. Unlike a standard financial check, a Single Audit specifically tests whether your agency is following strict federal rules and Uniform Guidance compliance so you do not risk losing your critical grant funding.
An ACFR stands for Annual Comprehensive Financial Report. It is a highly detailed set of financial statements that goes way beyond a standard balance sheet to cover an agency’s full economic condition, statistical trends, and long-term funds. Preparing an ACFR helps public entities prove absolute financial accountability to taxpayers, oversight boards, and credit rating bureaus, which is vital for maintaining a strong credit rating.
Local governments handle vast public resources across many departments, making them targets for operational errors or financial mismanagement. An internal control process review evaluates how your agency handles cash, approves expenses, and splits up financial duties among staff. Strengthening these internal controls sets up a protective barrier that catches accounting errors early and prevents internal fraud and waste.
When government leaders need to look closely at a single issue rather than the entire budget, they request agreed-upon procedures. In this setup, your agency hires a CPA firm to look into a highly specific area—such as checking a single grant’s expenditures, reviewing a local construction contract, or verifying a specific department’s bookkeeping. The result is a targeted, data-backed report that helps leadership make quick, confident decisions.
Public sector rules, grant restrictions, and state accounting laws change constantly. Regular governance training updates board members and agency management on their legal financial duties, changing regulatory standards, and risk management practices. Keeping your leadership trained ensures your public entity operates smoothly, avoids compliance penalties, and remains fully transparent with the community.
