What we have written down.
Notes on the parts of Uniform Guidance that actually produce findings, plus older writing on analysis and web work from earlier in the firm’s history. Everything here carries its publish date. Nothing has been quietly refreshed to look current.

Read this first
These were published in 2019 — 7 years ago. Federal guidance has moved since, including the 2024 revision to the Uniform Guidance that raised the Single Audit threshold to $1,000,000 for fiscal years beginning on or after 1 October 2024. The documentation criteria these pieces describe still hold. The dollar figures and deadlines in them may not. If a decision rides on it, call us instead of relying on the post.
