Because of the complexity of government audits and the related compliance auditing mandated by the federal Single Audit Act for federal grants, firms need to invest a considerable amount of resources to maintain a top-notch level of professionalism. Our firm had a history of making that kind of investment because we considered the government auditing and consulting area of prime importance."
