We understand what your auditors need and how to provide it to them. We oversee the preparation for the annual audits of county and municipal governments, tribal governments, not-for-profit entities, and private companies. Our valuable “pre-audit” services, which make up the first step in the process of an audit, include project management and staff training in audit preparation.

During a pre-audit, the entity’s financial documents are examined to ensure that all information is correct before the entity undergoes an official audit. By providing reconciled general ledger accounts and a clear audit trail, an efficient pre-audit facilitates a smoother, quicker, less disruptive and less expensive annual audit.

We can assist with preparing, from information you provide, the following documents and schedules:

• Financial statements, notes to the financial statements, and supplementary information
• Bank reconciliations including journal entries to record the correct balances
• Receivable listings and reconciliation to the general ledger
• Fixed asset schedules, including depreciation and identification of additions and disposals
• Accrued payroll and related liabilities to the adjusted trial balance
• Reconciliation of equity accounts and identification of classifications of equity
