AUDIT AND ASSURANCE FOR ATLANTA NON-PROFITS
Nonprofit organizations face incredible financial scrutiny. Depending on the makeup of your organization, financial reports may be reviewed by board members, donors, the IRS, and countless others. Our nonprofit auditing firm ensures reports are accurate, manage risk and offer valuable strategic insight based on financial data.
Non-Profit Auditing Services
An audit is a careful, methodical review of all financial reports and data. Auditing services help nonprofit organizations remain compliant with tax laws, organizational requirements and funding sources. Marshall Jones audit services include:
- Single audits: Single audits are compliance audits involving an in-depth review of financial data. When your organization receives significant awards or federal grants, you may need to undergo a single audit to review that your nonprofit is using funds in line with regulations and grant agreements.
- Program audits: A program audit reviews a dedicated portion of financial data. The audit assesses the effectiveness and efficiency of a specific program and evaluates whether the project is achieving its intended goals and maximizing resources.
- Reviews: Reviews or limited-scope audits are assurance services that, while shy of a complete audit, review financial documents and reports to verify accuracy. Review engagements will assess whether your financial statements align with generally accepted accounting principles and frameworks related to your nonprofit.
- Agreed-upon procedures: Smaller non-profit organizations can benefit from agreed-upon procedures (AUP) and compliance reviews of organizational accounts and data. AUP provides factual information rather than opinion, assurance and guidance, helping you meet specific objectives and address areas of concern. You may want a review of a particular expense category to verify compliance with funding requirements or evaluate the effectiveness of internal controls.
Audit and assurance services give organizational leaders the financial tools they need. We have over three decades of experience performing audit and assurance services, so you can trust our knowledge and expertise to deliver trusted, top-notch results.
