The audits are performed for organizations ranging in size up to $160 million per year in revenues. Some of the organizations have significant deferred giving programs (gift annuities, charitable remainder unitrusts, and charitable remainder annuities). The firm provides audit and advisory services for a number of clients that have substantial endowment portfolios ranging up to $140 million.Over 90% of our audit practice is related to the nonprofit industry.
