2025-09-24 11:00 - 12:00 (America/New_York) | zoom.us/j/99637175117
Course Description:
The annual audit doesn’t have to be a stressful, time-consuming process. In this session, we’ll explore what it means for associations to be truly “audit-ready” in today’s environment. Drawing on real-world experience preparing nonprofit and association clients for their audits (and having conducted audits in a past life as well!), we’ll discuss common challenges organizations face, from reconciling revenue and grants to documenting internal controls, and share practical strategies for building strong processes throughout the year. Participants will also see how technology and modern accounting practices can streamline audit preparation, reduce risk, and create efficiencies that benefit both management and the board. You’ll leave with a roadmap to transform your audit from a once-a-year scramble into a tool that efficiently demonstrates financial health.
