We audit municipalities, towns, villages, counties, fire districts, special districts, school districts, and public authorities throughout New York State and the broader region.

Government audits are conducted under GAAS, Government Auditing Standards (the ‘Yellow Book’), and where applicable, Uniform Guidance for Single Audits of federal grant recipients.

We help governments consider applicability and implement new GASB pronouncements and the relevant impacts on financial reporting — including those related to leases and subscription-based IT arrangements (GASB 87 & 96), compensated absences (GASB 101) and/or financial reporting in accordance with GASB 103, and subscription-based IT arrangements.

Yes. We provide internal control assessments, financial policies and procedures development, budget analysis, and advisory support to help local governments strengthen their financial operations.

We provide these routinely, often providing opportunity for management implement corrective action to improve financial reporting, strengthen internal controls and/or create segregation of duties.
