For many of our properties it’s that time of year for Spring clean up, Summer planning and their financial audit.

One of the most important functions and fiduciary obligations of a Board is to ensure the financial soundness of the community on a regular basis.  This is often done as a comprehensive audit – as required by the governing documents.

On average, the audit process should take 90-120 days and requires the auditors to review the overall financial and operational health of the community;

• Cash receipts and cash disbursements
• Budget
• Payables and Receivables
• Bank reconciliations
• Vendor contracts
• Insurance
• Reserves and other community assets
• Internal controls review compliance with governing documents
• Cash Flow Analysis

That’s a lot of information and often an audit can drag on longer than necessary because the community may not have all this important information at their fingertips.  Auditors must then try to extract the required information.

This not only results in delays of the audit period, but it will likely increase the cost of your audit as billable hours start to add up.
