Audit & assurance
# Statements your lender *will sign off on.*
Reviews, compilations and audits for lenders, boards and grantors, led by a partner who has signed hundreds.

**Priced** on scope**Peer reviewed** pass, every cycle
## The right level of assurance, not the most expensive one.
A lender may only need a review. A grantor may need an audit. We tell you which, and we keep the field work short.

> “Our first federal grant needed a Single Audit. Denise walked our board through it line by line.”

Executive director, Riverside Pantry · client since 2020
## Questions clients ask
Review or audit: which do I need?
Ask the lender or grantor what they require. If they aren't sure, we'll ask them for you.
How long does an audit take?
Six to ten weeks from planning to the signed report, with one to two weeks of fieldwork.
Can you audit us if you do our books?
No. Independence rules don't allow it. We can refer you to a firm that can.
