Governmental Entities

We serve a wide range of public-sector clients, including municipalities, school districts, county governments, libraries, joint insurance funds, and other authorities. With experience working with over 200 governmental entities, we understand the unique operational, compliance, and reporting challenges you face.

At Nisivoccia, we don’t take a transactional approach – we build long-term partnerships. Our philosophy, known as The Nisivoccia Way, is centered on proactive communication, education, and year-round support.

Rather than only engaging during audit season, we act as trusted advisors – helping you navigate challenges, stay compliant, and operate more efficiently throughout the year.

We are available year-round. Governmental entities face ongoing challenges, so our team is always accessible to provide guidance on compliance, budgeting, regulatory updates, and unexpected issues.

This consistent support is a key part of The Nisivoccia Way.

We reduce audit stress by staying engaged year-round and preparing clients well in advance. Our approach includes:

• Ongoing communication and proactive guidance
• An annual “Preparing for Your Audit” seminar for School Business Administrators
• Regular roundtables and training sessions
• Clear expectations around timelines, documentation, and requirements

This preparation makes the audit process smoother, more predictable, and far less disruptive.

We provide a full range of audit services, including financial audits, Single Audits, compliance audits, and internal control reviews.

Our goal is not just to issue an opinion, but to help you improve processes, strengthen controls, and better understand your financial position.

A Single Audit is a combined audit of financial statements and federal program compliance. It is typically required when a governmental entity expends $750,000 or more in federal funds in a fiscal year.

We provide hands-on support and education to help new leaders succeed. Each year, we host a Newly Elected Officials event after election season, bringing together new officials, experienced municipal leaders, and our professionals for open discussion and practical guidance.

We also support new CMFOs, administrators, and school business officials with ongoing education and direct guidance.

Yes, education is a core part of how we serve our clients. Throughout the year, we offer:

• Annual “Preparing for Your Audit” seminar
• Quarterly CMFO Roundtables with guest speakers and relevant topics
• Additional roundtables and discussions on emerging issues

Many of these programs offer continuing education credits and provide actionable insights you can apply immediately.

We closely monitor changes in governmental accounting and auditing standards and provide real-time guidance.

Through ongoing communication, training, and advisory support, we help ensure you understand what’s changing, how it affects you, and what actions to take.

Yes. We assist with budget preparation, financial forecasting, and long-term planning to help you align resources with priorities while meeting regulatory requirements.
