Board members, community members, creditors, donors, and grantors rely on the financial statements of a nonprofit organization to glean important information about the financial position of the organization and the results of its operations. Financial statements that have been audited or reviewed by a certified public accountant provide assurance about the integrity of the financial information, with audits providing the highest level of assurance. Compilations, while providing no assurance, assist an organization in presenting their financial information in the form of financial statements.
Nonprofit accounting is one of Cheryl’s specialties, and she will assist your organization in assessing whether an audit, review, or compilation best meets your needs and budget.
