Click to see our Transparency Report for 2021 https://www.claconnect.com/-/media/files/resources-supporting/2021_cla_t...

CLA has a dedicated nonprofit group, a team focused on providing high‐quality services to nonprofits organizations. Members of CLA’s nonprofit group focus almost exclusively on serving nonprofit organizations, so they have the experience and commitment to fully understand your challenges and opportunities.

Nonprofit organizations are a dynamic, unique area of accounting, and require constant attention and monitoring. Our knowledge of the industry is crucial to offering actionable activities. As a firm with more than 60 years of experience, serving more than 9,000 nonprofit clients, we possess an in-depth understanding of organizational challenges and are able to respond promptly and effectively to help meet them.

CLA’s assurance and advisory principals are national leaders on several standard-setting bodies. Several have assisted with the writing of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) practice and audit guides specifically for nonprofit organizations, chaired technical boards, and led state CPA organizations. Many of our professionals gather client thoughts and submit responses to the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). As participants in these states and national standard-setting bodies, our professionals are on the cutting edge of new developments that affect you. Our work in these emerging areas gives you an advantage planning ahead. This makes CLA the best of both worlds, a local team dedicated to the nonprofit industry with the national resources.

Audit Services

In the current environment of increased oversight and new federal funding being available through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act and the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, it is more important than ever to find qualified auditors who have significant experience with federal grants. Therefore, the single audits are performed by a team of individuals who are managed by personnel who specialize in single audits in accordance with OMB’s Uniform Guidance and who can offer both knowledge and quality. As part of our quality control process, the single audit will be reviewed by a firm Designated Single Audit Reviewer. Based on information from the Federal Audit Clearinghouse for audits with fiscal years ends between January 1, 2020 and December 31, 2020, CLA performs the largest number of single audits in the United States. We audited nearly $93 BILLION dollars in federal funds in 2020. This not only shows our experience in serving organizations that receive federal funds but it demonstrates our firm’s dedication to serving the government and nonprofit industries. In addition, CLA prepares more 990s than any other professional firm in the United States based on data obtained from CauseIQ.

Pre Covid-19, CLA adopted our Seamless Assurance Advantage (SAA) which is an innovative approach to auditing that utilizes technology, analytics, and audit methods to help solve client problems and create a seamless experience. Unlike any conventional audit process, SAA does not depend on a physical location. It reduces the time our professionals spend on site, creates fewer disruptions for our clients, enables more efficient use of resources and allows for more impactful interactions with clients. As part of our process, we utilize a secure web-based application to request and obtain documents necessary to complete engagements. This application allows clients to view detailed information including due dates for requested items, attach electronic files and add commentary related to the document requests directly in the application. In addition, we realize that effective communication throughout the engagement is critical to the successful and timely completion of an engagement. Therefore, during engagements we hold regular status meetings to enhance day-to-day operations, results and any issues are commonly understood and addressed. This allows us to 1) provide a constant technique for monitoring progress against plan; 2) identify issues quickly to allow for timely corrective action; 3) provide objective rather than subjective evaluation of status; 4) provide timely information on a regular basis and 5) assist with obtaining buy-in of any audit recommendations on a timely basis.

Outsourced Finance and Accounting

We can provide full or part-time outsourced professionals to support the accounting function, whether you need staff to handle your day-to-day transactions, a controller to help you scale your back-office operations or a consulting CFO to weigh in on financial management issues and provide industry specific guidance.

We are committed to addressing what matters most to you:
• Leveraging technology to streamline internal processes
• Improving timelieness and clarifty in financial reporting
• Keeping up with constantly changing compliance issues
• Turning your back office from a fixed cost to a variable cost
• Utilizing timely and reliable financial information to make critical decisions

Since 1995, we have conducted hundreds of local, regional, and national executive level searches for nonprofit organizations. Every day we work alongside the principals and staff of CLA which gives us immediate and personal access to industry-specific knowledge and contacts – a benefit we pass on to our clients.
