Single Audit Advisory Services
Clarity. Compliance. Confidence
Providing a Customizable Approach to Single Audit Advisory Services
Managing federal awards comes with complex requirements that can overwhelm even experienced nonprofit and governmental organizations. A single audit under Uniform Guidance is more than a financial review; it is a comprehensive compliance exercise that requires deep knowledge, strong internal controls, and meticulous documentation.
At Wegner CPAs, our Single Audit Advisory Services provide the expertise and proactive guidance you need to prepare for and navigate this process with confidence. We simplify the complexities, strengthen your systems, and help you avoid costly surprises so you can focus on delivering impact.
Why Organizations Need Advisory Support
Federal award compliance requires coordination across leadership, program staff, and finance teams. Limited resources and small staff often lead to:
Complex Compliance Rules
Requirements vary by program and funder, and Uniform Guidance is dense and technical.
Documentation Burdens
Single audits demand extensive supporting records, often not realized until audit time.
Internal Control Gaps
Small finance teams and informal processes may not meet audit standards.
Preparation Timing
Without intentional planning, organizations often start too late, leading to costly findings.
