AUDIT READY.
Strong audit readiness starts before the auditor arrives. FBSM helps organizations strengthen documentation, identify gaps, organize records, support corrective action, and build processes that are easier to review and defend.
Audit readiness is an operating condition, not a scramble.
Organizations often discover documentation weaknesses only after a monitor, auditor, funder, prime contractor, or oversight body begins asking questions.
By then, staff may be searching across multiple systems, reconstructing decisions, locating missing approvals, and trying to explain processes that were never documented clearly.
FBSM helps bring structure to that work before, during, or after a formal review by focusing on records, workflows, documentation quality, consistency, and corrective action.
Build a clearer trail from requirement to evidence.
Services can be tailored to the governing program, contract, funding source, review standard, and scope of the engagement.
Documentation Review
Reviewing records for completeness, consistency, traceability, required support, and identifiable gaps.
File Readiness
Organizing files and supporting documentation so required information can be located, understood, and reviewed more efficiently.
Quality Assurance
Applying structured review methods to identify recurring errors, inconsistencies, and documentation weaknesses.
Corrective Action Support
Organizing findings, tracking remediation activity, and supporting documented resolution of identified issues.
Process Review
Examining how policies and requirements move through actual workflows, reviews, approvals, and recordkeeping.
SOP & Checklist Support
Developing or strengthening practical procedures, checklists, review steps, and documentation standards.
Monitoring Preparation
Supporting record organization, review preparation, issue tracking, and responses associated with monitoring activity.
Backlog Remediation
Additional review and administrative capacity for documentation backlogs, cleanup projects, and remediation efforts.
Records & Evidence Mapping
Helping connect requirements, decisions, approvals, supporting documents, and other evidence into a clearer review trail.
The problem is rarely just one missing document.
Audit and monitoring issues often expose broader operational weaknesses. The goal is not simply to make a file look better. It is to understand whether the documentation accurately reflects a consistent and supportable process.
Missing Evidence
Decisions or transactions cannot be readily supported by complete documentation.
Inconsistent Files
Similar matters are documented differently across staff, teams, locations, or systems.
Weak Traceability
A reviewer cannot easily determine what happened, who approved it, or why a decision was made.
Repeat Findings
Immediate corrections are made without addressing the workflow or control that created the problem.
Different reviews have different requirements.
Audit obligations depend on the organization, funding, program, award terms, applicable regulations, contracts, and other governing requirements. FBSM's role is to support readiness and documentation within the applicable scope.
Current Single Audit threshold under 2 CFR 200.501
A non-Federal entity that expends $1,000,000 or more in Federal awards during its fiscal year is generally required under 2 CFR 200.501 to obtain a single audit or program-specific audit, subject to the regulation and any applicable requirements.
Experience in high-accountability programs.
FBSM is led by a principal with professional experience across quality assurance, compliance, documentation review, eligibility and appeals, public programs, behavioral health, human services, and federally funded disaster recovery.
That experience includes environments where decisions, files, approvals, policies, and supporting documentation must withstand internal and external review.
Principal professional experience is presented as the experience of FBSM leadership and should not be interpreted as FBSM corporate past performance unless specifically identified as such.
