Governmental Clients
The last few years have seen substantial changes
to the rules and regulations required of governmental entities
and their auditors. Governmental entities have always had to navigate
the many rules and regulations from various sources, including
the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB), the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB), the United States General Accounting
Office (GAO), the Federal Single Audit, the State Single Audit,
numerous granting agencies, as well as your own governmental entity. The new
reporting model under GASB 34 and subsequent statements create significant
changes to the financial reporting requirements. In addition, the
changes in the Governmental Auditing Standards require additional
procedures from the government’s internal accounting departments.
