Audit Preparation & Single Audit Support

Audits don’t have to be stressful—or disruptive to your mission. Our Audit Preparation services ensure your organization enters the audit process with organized records, compliant documentation, and confidence at every stage.

Our role is straightforward: make sure you’re ready before the auditor asks.

Who This Service Is For

This service is designed for organizations that need audit readiness without last-minute scrambling, including:

• Nonprofit organizations receiving federal or state funding
• Higher education institutions, including HBCUs
• Organizations approaching or exceeding Single Audit thresholds
• Leadership teams seeking to eliminate audit surprises

If an audit is on your calendar, we help you walk in prepared—not panicked.

What Is Audit Preparation?

Audit preparation focuses on ensuring your financial records, internal controls, and supporting documentation are complete, accurate, and compliant before the audit begins.

We concentrate on readiness—not opinion issuing—so your external auditors can work efficiently and effectively.

Our Audit Preparation Services Include

Pre-Audit Readiness Review

• Review of financial statements and general ledger
• Identification of gaps, inconsistencies, and risk areas
• Assessment of internal controls and financial processes

Documentation & Support Schedules

• Trial balance and reconciliation support
• Audit-ready schedules and workpapers
• Grant, fund, and restricted revenue documentation

Internal Control & Compliance Support

• Policy and procedure alignment
• Segregation of duties review
• Compliance documentation preparation

Audit Liaison Support

• Coordination with external auditors
• Timely responses to audit requests
• Issue tracking and resolution support

Single Audit Preparation (Uniform Guidance)

Organizations expending federal funds are subject to additional requirements under Uniform Guidance (2 CFR Part 200). We provide specialized support to ensure compliance and documentation readiness.

Single Audit Support Includes:

• Federal award and expenditure analysis
• Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) preparation
• Grant compliance and allowable cost review
• Subrecipient monitoring support
• Documentation readiness for compliance testing

We help ensure your federal funding is supported by strong financial systems and defensible documentation.

What We Do Not Do

To maintain independence and ethical standards:

• We do not perform the audit
• We do not issue audit opinions

We work alongside your audit firm to prepare your organization—never in conflict with them.

Why Organizations Choose Us

• Deep experience with nonprofits and higher education
• Strong understanding of audit and Single Audit requirements
• Organized, proactive, and process-driven approach
• Clear communication and realistic timelines

Our goal is not just to pass the audit—but to strengthen your financial infrastructure long after it’s over.

When Should You Start?

The ideal time to begin audit preparation is months before your auditors arrive.

If you’ve already received a PBC (Prepared By Client) list, we can step in immediately and help you get organized quickly.
