HOAs and condominium communities
When an association needs an audit, you need an audit firm that understands the financial structure and operating environment of HOAs and condominium communities.
Reliable HOA Audits. Clear Financial Reporting. Less Work for Your Management Team.
Managing the financial responsibilities of multiple homeowners associations requires more than keeping the books up to date. Your management company needs accurate financial records, organized supporting documentation, reliable reporting, and an audit process that fits smoothly into your existing workflow.
Our HOA audit professionals work with community association management companies to provide independent financial statement audits, HOA accounting review, internal control analysis, financial reporting support, and audit preparation for the communities you manage.
Your management company is responsible for keeping communities financially organized while helping boards meet their reporting obligations.
When an association needs an audit, you need an audit firm that understands the financial structure and operating environment of HOAs and condominium communities.

An HOA financial statement audit provides an independent examination of the association's financial statements and related financial information. Depending on the engagement, our audit process may include examination of the accounts below.
Our goal is to provide an independent examination of the association's financial information in accordance with the applicable professional standards and engagement requirements.
Depending on the engagement, our audit process may include examination of cash and bank accounts, assessments and homeowner receivables, accounts payable, operating expenses, reserve funds, investments, fixed assets, liabilities, deferred revenue, restricted funds, insurance-related balances, interfund activity, and other significant financial accounts.
If your company manages multiple associations, coordinating separate financial audits can become a recurring administrative challenge.
Our HOA audit services are designed to help management companies create a more consistent audit workflow across the communities they manage.
Community association management involves handling financial transactions, homeowner assessments, vendor payments, reserve funds, and other financial activities. Appropriate internal controls can help reduce errors and strengthen financial processes. Our objective is to identify areas that may warrant additional attention and provide management with useful financial information.
Reserve funds are an important part of long-term community association financial planning. Our audit and financial review procedures can include examination of relevant reserve fund activity and supporting financial records. A clear separation and presentation of operating and reserve activity can help management and boards better understand the association's financial position.
Homeowner assessments are a primary source of operating revenue for many community associations. Our team can review relevant assessment and receivable information as part of the applicable audit or financial reporting engagement. This helps create a clearer connection between association billing records, accounting records, and financial reporting.
Management companies often oversee several associations at the same time. Our team can support your portfolio by creating a structured process for each association's audit engagement. Instead of treating every audit as an entirely new process, we can work with your team to establish a repeatable approach.
Not every community association requires the same level of financial assurance.

Our team can help management companies understand the financial reporting process applicable to the engagement and organize the underlying accounting information accordingly. We can support:
