Audit readiness is easier to improve before fieldwork begins
If your organization waits until document requests arrive, there may be little time to correct weak files, unclear controls, missing approvals, or inconsistent documentation. A readiness review gives you an opportunity to identify those issues earlier.
What can be tested
- Selected expenditures and supporting documentation
- Procurement and contract files
- Payroll and personnel-cost support
- Internal-control operation and evidence
- Cost allocation and budget alignment
- Performance and financial reporting support
- Subrecipient-monitoring documentation
- Property and equipment records
- Corrective-action implementation from prior findings
Focus your preparation on the gaps that matter
The goal is not to create a second audit. It is to help your team identify documentation gaps, control weaknesses, and unresolved compliance questions early enough to improve the record and prepare a disciplined response plan.
This is not an independent audit or attestation
A Federal Award Audit Readiness Review is a compliance-readiness advisory engagement. It does not provide an audit opinion, attestation, assurance conclusion, or substitute for the work of your independent auditor.
