OVER 25 YEARS OF HOUSING AUTHORITY AUDIT EXPERIENCE

Managing a housing authority is a challenging task. Executive directors must maintain ever-changing HUD regulations and programs, often with a limited staff. SMCo is proud to specialize in housing authorities audits.

Auditing housing authorities is a highly specialized service. The industry in which they operate leads housing authorities to be subject to significant oversight by Federal, State, and Local regulatory agencies. Additionally, regulations in the industry are continually changing based on current political and economic factors.

Another factor adding to the complex nature of PHA audits is that they routinely have multiple reporting sub-entities and, consequently, require multiple audits. Even if you have multiple audits, Smith Marion provides you with one designated audit team.

With over 25 years of experience, our housing authority auditors are experts in the industry. We are:

Well-versed in public housing authority audit requirements that are beyond a typical audit engagement.
Known for delivering a timely audit
Excited to partner with you to improve accounting procedures to the extent allowable by independence standards.
Giving you a more flexible schedule so you can make a positive impact in your community.
