EFFICIENT PROCESSES FOR QUALITY AUDITS
Auditing is more than just verifying numbers. An audit provides unbiased, third-party verification of your results. Audits show where you’ve been and can provide insights to improve accounting and reporting practices. They can reassure investors and other stakeholders regarding your financial reporting practices.
Other assurance services provide lesser degrees of assurance than an audit but may offer the appropriate degree of confidence to the users of your report. Sikich works with organizations across industries and of all sizes to determine what type of assurance services meet your financial reporting needs.

Service Overview Financial Reporting
Though we have consolidated financial statements for NACDL and the NACDL Foundation for Criminal Justice, they are two separate entities, and the Sikich team serves both of them. There is a high level of complexity in our operations because we have a vast array of both private and government funding that support both our corporate and foundation initiatives, and the Sikich team is instrumental in making sure all financial and accounting processes of our entities run smoothly.”
AUDIT SERVICES TO MEET YOUR BUSINESS NEEDS
As with Single Audits, an audit in accordance with Government Auditing Standards (the Yellow Book) is generally performed for not-for-profit organizations and governmental entities when certain requirements have been imposed. Under a Yellow Book audit, we will render an opinion on compliance and internal control over financial reporting using audit procedures as defined by Yellow Book guidelines.
Compilations are used when organizations need to gather and present financial information but do not need assurance that financial statements are accurate. Sikich offers monthly, quarterly, and annual compilation services. Compilations provide assistance in the presentation of financial information but do not provide assurance.
