Bridges Consulting provides comprehensive audit and internal control support services tailored specifically to nonprofit organizations. We understand the unique regulatory, governance, and resource constraints nonprofits face, and we partner closely with management to strengthen internal controls, improve financial reporting accuracy, and effectively address auditor findings and management letter recommendations.

Our services include reviewing, updating, and documenting capitalization and fixed asset policies to ensure alignment with accounting standards, donor and grant requirements, and board-approved governance practices. We assess internal controls over property and equipment, focusing on key risk areas such as asset acquisition, tracking, depreciation, disposal, and oversight—while remaining mindful of staffing limitations common in nonprofit environments.

We assist nonprofits with the design, documentation, and execution of physical inventory processes, including initial inventories and recurring cycle counts. This includes reconciling physical inventory results to fixed asset registers, subsidiary ledgers, and the general ledger, identifying missing, obsolete, or improperly recorded assets, and improving the accuracy and ongoing maintenance of fixed asset records.

In addition, Bridges Consulting helps strengthen the overall control environment by improving segregation of duties, enhancing review and approval processes, and establishing practical oversight mechanisms that balance risk mitigation with operational realities. We support organizations in documenting policies and procedures, resolving audit discrepancies, evaluating depreciation methodologies and asset disposal practices, and developing corrective action plans that respond directly to audit recommendations.

To promote long-term compliance and sustainability, we also provide hands-on staff training and implementation support to ensure policies and procedures are clearly understood and consistently applied. Our goal is not only to remediate current audit issues, but to help nonprofit organizations build repeatable, well-controlled processes that reduce audit risk, enhance transparency for boards and stakeholders, and support mission-driven success year after year.
