What government entities does Bonadio audit?
What standards govern Bonadio's audits of government entities?
Government audits are conducted under GAAS, Government Auditing Standards (the ‘Yellow Book’), and where applicable, Uniform Guidance for Single Audits of federal grant recipients.
How does Bonadio assist local governments with GASB compliance?
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.
Can Bonadio help a municipality improve its financial management practices?
What is a management letter and do governments receive one after an audit?
A management letter communicates internal control deficiencies and operational observations identified during the audit that don’t rise to the level of a reportable finding but warrant management’s attention. 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.
