Audits, Reviews and Compilations

 

As a Community Association you may be required under Florida Statutes to engage a CPA firm to perform an audit, review, or compilation. The level of service the Association requests is generally determined based on revenue levels set by Florida statutes. Whichever level of service you engage us to perform; we will ensure a smooth engagement with continuous communication.

Agreed Upon Procedures

The Association may want Menchinger & Tyack CPAs, LLC to issue a report on our findings based on specific procedures performed on subject matter. These procedures will be dependent on the needs of the association. An example of an agreed upon procedure could be that the association board of directors would like to ensure that the payments made by the association were appropriately authorized in accordance with their policy.

Taxation

On an annual basis an association is often faced with the choice of filing different returns that have varying consequences. We can assist the board of directors in making that choice and ensuring that the return is timely filed. Further, we are able to assist associations with tax laws to ensure that they remain in compliance.
