Board and grant reporting
For a nonprofit, start with funding agreements and the board's reporting needs. Reconcile restricted funds, payroll allocations, grant expenditures, and bank accounts. If an audit is requested, obtain the grantor's written requirement and confirm the engagement scope before promising a report.
How we scope the work
We start with the decision or filing you need to complete, the entities and people involved, and the deadline. After reviewing the available records, we identify missing information and propose the services and deliverables. For ongoing work, we establish a close and filing calendar so bookkeeping, tax projections, and owner reporting use consistent information.
For an audit or other assurance request, bring the lender, grant, board, or regulatory requirement. We confirm the engagement type and applicable professional requirements before accepting the work.
