Municipal Audit Services

Our municipal practice has an unparalleled reputation for guiding and advising the finances of municipal entities throughout the region.

Our philosophy is based on providing full financial resource capabilities to our clients. This philosophy has been instrumental in establishing Bennett Kielson Storch DeSantis as the premier public accounting firm in the region for financial and management advisory services to governmental and school district entities.

Governmental accounting principles have become increasingly more complex in recent years. It has been our philosophy to inform both the legislative and administrative branches of government of the impending changes and their impact on the governmental entity. We stay actively involved in this ever-changing environment. Our partners maintain close personal contact with our clients which enables us to provide advice to local municipalities on issues facing government. Our experience and involvement provides us with a unique ability to assist government officials in their problem solving.

While a significant amount of our services are devoted to audits of financial statements, we also have specialized in compliance audits pursuant to the Single Audit Act. Since the enactment of the Single Audit Act, Bennett Kielson Storch DeSantis has provided leadership and guidance, ensuring that our clients will be in complete compliance.

The Government Finance Officers Association operates a program that permits a government to obtain a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting. Our partners and staff participate in the program as Special Review Committee members. This committee is responsible for evaluating financial statements submitted to the program. Many of our clients participate in the program and have reaped the benefits of the awards. Bennett Kielson Storch DeSantis firmly believes in the value of the program and encourages participation by all governments.
