What We Do

Assurance Audits

• Financial-Related Audits - Determine whether the audit unit is maintaining effective control over revenues, expenditures, assets, liabilities, and financial operations (e.g. controls exist on the collection of cash); properly accounting for resources, liabilities and operations; and using accounting methods and procedures that conform to established policies, practices, and guidelines.
• Performance/Operational Audits - Determine whether the audit unit is managing or utilizing its resources (e.g., public funds or equipment) in an economical, effective, and efficient manner. This audit can be limited in scope to a specific function within an agency (e.g., work-related travel).
• Compliance Audits - Evaluate whether activities required by law or policy are being carried out and comply with those laws and policies. This audit can be limited in scope to a specific law or policy requirement (e.g., Ohio Revised Code Section).
