Taking federal money comes with strings, and the strings are written down. We build and run the systems that keep you compliant all year — and handle the Single Audit when it comes.
Taking federal money comes with strings, and the strings are written down. The Uniform Guidance (2 CFR Part 200) sets the rules for how federal awards may be spent, documented, and reported — and your Single Audit checks whether you followed them.
Most compliance findings are honest mistakes. A well-run organization spends real program dollars in a way that misses a rule it did not know applied, and the gap surfaces at audit time. Building the rule into day-to-day operations is what keeps it off the finding list.
We build and run the systems that keep you compliant all year, then handle the Single Audit when it comes:
Getting costs into the right buckets, with support behind them. Every cost on a federal award must be reasonable, allocable, and documented (2 CFR 200.403).
Purchasing rules that satisfy the federal standard — real competition, documented decisions, suspension/debarment checks (2 CFR 200.318). Your own policy may be looser; federal dollars get the federal standard.
Federal deadlines tracked so nothing is filed late. Reporting is one of the most common finding areas, almost always because of timing.
Verification and oversight for every dollar you pass through. The responsibility for how subrecipients spend it stays with you (2 CFR 200.332) — even after the money moves on.
We list your federal programs and funding sources, then identify which compliance requirements the OMB Compliance Supplement attaches to each. Auditors don't invent what to test — they read from the same supplement.
Cost allocation, procurement policy, reporting calendar, subrecipient monitoring. We either build them from scratch or review what you already have against the federal standard.
Compliance work happens during the year, not at audit time. The rules get followed because they are built into how programs run, not because someone remembered them in month nine.
Compliance work and the Single Audit handled by one CPA team. Nothing falls into the gap between providers.
There is no flat price. The work scales with your federal footprint and how much you want us to build versus review. The main drivers are how many federal programs you run and how many funding sources feed them, whether we build systems from scratch (cost allocation, procurement policy, a reporting calendar) or review what you already have, how much funding you pass through to subrecipients (which adds monitoring scope), and whether any single program crosses the $1,000,000 Type A threshold, which raises what gets tested at audit.
Tell us what you run and how you handle it today, and we will give you a fixed quote before you commit to anything.
Built-in compliance is what keeps a Single Audit short. A rule found at audit time can become questioned costs, a finding, and funds you have to pay back. The organizations that move through a Single Audit cleanly run the rules all year — they don't reconstruct them under deadline.
Every cost on a federal award has to clear three tests under 2 CFR 200.403: reasonable (a prudent person would have spent it), allocable (it benefits the federal program it's charged to), and documented (there is support behind it).

Want a pre-audit check first? That is our audit readiness assessment. Need the Single Audit itself? We do that too. Your SEFA captures the spending.
Tell us which federal programs you run and how you handle costs, procurement, and subrecipients today, and we will show you where the gaps are. Confidential, handled by a CPA firm, not a call center.
Confidential, no obligation. Fixed quote before you commit to anything.
