Meet Chris Harding, CPA, CFE, CIA
With deep experience in government auditing and public sector finance, I bring direct, hands-on knowledge to the challenges local governments face. I don’t just find problems; I partner with elected officials and management to design practical solutions that work for your specific entity.
Where We Can Help
Targeted Risk Reviews
We perform agreed-upon procedures (AUP) on high-risk operational areas to detect errors, fraud, and waste.
- Purchasing Cards (P-Cards): Monitoring for split transactions, personal use, and missing receipts.
- Fleet & Fuel: Analyzing fuel usage, vehicle assignments, and maintenance controls.
- Payroll & Overtime: Verifying approval flows and overtime justification (Police/Fire/Public Works).
- Cash Handling: Securing revenue streams in courts, recreation centers, and utilities.
Governance & Controls
Building the foundation for a transparent organization.
- Segregation of Duties: Designing workflows so no single employee controls a financial transaction from start to finish.
- Policy Development: Drafting clear policies for Procurement, Ethics, and Capital Assets.
- Audit Committee Setup: Guiding Councils on charter creation and committee best practices.
