Our Services

A Commitment to Collaboration

Built on integrity and committed to communication and full-partner collaboration with all teaming partners, we understand that when we work together, we work smarter. While most clients have a common need for support in financial management, internal controls, performance management, and external peer reviews, each solution is as unique as the office or agency it supports.

Audit & Assurance

Meeting audit requirements and audit readiness deadlines is critically important across all government agencies. Acuity Consulting Inc. works in partnership with clients and teaming partners to get the job done right.

Audit and Audit Readiness

As a CPA and professional services firm, Acuity has been providing audit and assurance services, including Financial Improvement and Audit Readiness (FIAR) support, to Federal clients for over 15 years. Our experience gives our clients the confidence that the audit and audit readiness activities we support will be effective in meeting their needs and schedule. We apply Federal Accounting Standards Advisory Board (FASAB) standards in our audits and audit readiness support activities. As an audit firm, our work is in compliance with Generally Accepted Government Auditing Standards (GAGAS) or “Yellow Book” guidance issued by the Government Accountability Office (GAO). We also follow the guidance jointly issued by the GAO and the President’s Council on Integrity and Efficiency (PCIE) in the Financial Audit Manual (FAM). Our IT auditors adhere to the GAO Federal Information System Controls Audit Manual (FISCAM) and other appropriate guidance.

We provide our clients with risk-based internal control assessments, business process controls mapping, and Internal Controls over Financial Reporting (ICOFR) support to meet Financial Improvement Plan (FIP) needs.
