Agreed-Upon Procedures
McBride, Lock & Associates, LLC performs a large number of agreed-upon procedures reviews. These reviews provide assurances to State or Federal agencies that operations or results of the reviewed entity are being conducted in a particular manner. The procedures are established to provide a reporting and review process that communicates findings to an oversight body. The findings can be positive or can be the communication of a matter of weakness or noncompliance. McBride, Lock & Associates, LLC has performed many thousands of these engagements for Federal and State recipients.
Single Audits
We have a long history of performing Single Audits in accordance with
- Uniform Guidance
- A-133
- A-128
- A-102 Attachment P
We specify previous iterations of the Single Audit provisions because it represents our history in the performance and assistance in development of the Single Audit process. In each of these generations of Single Audit types, McBride, Lock & Associates, LLC has been on the cutting edge of adoption and submission of these reports. In the early 1980’s our firm was instrumental in developing reporting processes from existing audit standards to ensure appropriate communication of financial, internal control and compliance reports. As these processes became more mainstream, we performed hundreds of quality control reviews for various Federal agencies to ensure that the Single audit submissions to the Federal agencies were properly performed and adequately supported.
We continue to be an industry leader in this area and are frequently solicited to further advance this area of practice.
