    What Do You Need?

    A Proactive Auditor

    Before even getting started, we work with you to build a schedule that is agreed upon within your proposal so everything is coordinated in advance. During the actual audit, we provide an organized list of documents and data needed in a software that makes it easy to track your progress. We're responsive, and we deliver quality work on time. If you want to streamline your audit, let's chat!

    Single Audit

    If a Single Audit required due to federal expenditures exceeding the threshold provided by the Uniform Guidance, our team can provide this service along with an audit or as a separate engagement. If you've never had a Single Audit, we will provide support to help you learn the process and necessary documentation.

    First Time Audit

    If your entity is newly formed, or if its new to auditing requirements, our team can guide you through necessary documentation, deadlines, and procedures to ensure you are comfortable with the audit prior to starting the process.

    Fraud: Internal Controls, Presenation, or Audit

    We can help you reduce your fraud risk by working with you to design internal controls and by giving your management team a Fraud Presentation. If you suspect fraudulent activities may be happening, our team can perform a detailed examination of your financial records that is more granular than a standard audit and will not issue an opinion. 

    Compliance Reporting

    Our team can work with you to document evidence that your organization is adhering to applicable laws, regulations, and standards set by government and regulatory agencies.

    I'm Not Sure

    We often have organizations approach us asking for an audit, but as we get to know what they need, a full audit is not necessary. If you need an assurance service, but you aren't sure whether you need an audit, review, or compilation, we can work with you to determine the best service for your needs.

    In all my time here, Avizo has been nothing short of an excellent partnership. We even had a special service requested projecting property tax collections for our new tax referendum that was extremely useful. With any questions or concerns brought to them, solutions have always been provided in an adequate manner.
