Audit Readiness for Nonprofit Finance Teams
AuditRadar gives a nonprofit finance team a free audit readiness workspace: a 32-item checklist that adds single audit items when federal spending reaches the threshold, the Federal Audit Clearinghouse due date for your fiscal year, and the 1,663 CPA firms observed auditing two or more nonprofits in FAC filings, data as of 2026-09-18.
Data as of 2026-09-18 · Sources: Federal Audit Clearinghouse (public data) and 2 CFR 200.512
What is in the audit readiness workspace?
A checklist of 32 items in 10 sections with a status and a note for each, a timeline computed from your fiscal year end, the audit firms observed on FAC reports of nonprofits in your state, and a request-for-proposals builder.
| Part | What it does | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Checklist | 32 items in 10 sections (Governance, Cash and bank, Revenue and receivables, Grants and federal awards, Payroll, Fixed assets, Liabilities, Prior audit, Tax filings, First audit). 10 single audit items appear when expected federal expenditures reach the threshold for your fiscal year; 2 first-audit items appear when your organization has no FAC report. | AuditRadar checklist; single audit threshold from 2 CFR 200.501 |
| Timeline | Planning start, fiscal year end, a typical fieldwork window and the FAC submission due date, each with the rule it comes from. | 2 CFR 200.512(a) |
| Audit firms observed nearby | Firms named as auditor on FAC reports of nonprofits in your state over the last two audit years, with counts and the share in your federal spending band. | Federal Audit Clearinghouse |
| RFP builder | A plain-text request for proposals from your answers, downloaded to your computer. Nothing is stored or published. | Your answers |
When is a single audit due?
A single audit is due to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse by the earlier of 30 calendar days after the auditor’s report or nine months after the end of the fiscal year (2 CFR 200.512(a)). The workspace computes that date from your fiscal year end.
Rule text: 2 CFR 200.512 Report submission.
Does it cost anything?
No. It is included with a free AuditRadar account, which needs an email address and a state and no card. Your checklist downloads as CSV or PDF.
What does the workspace not do?
It does not audit your organization, file anything with the Clearinghouse or recommend a firm. A firm is listed because FAC reports name it as auditor, not as an endorsement.
