Financial Auditor Selection 10 minutes

The SCSC is continuing its Approved Auditor Program and has selected 3 highly qualified CPA firms to participate in the program for FY19 – Bambo Sonaike, CPA, LLC, Mauldin & Jenkins, LLC., and C. Douglas Erwin, Jr., CPA, Inc. These firms meet both state and national accounting standards required to conduct a charter school’s annual financial audit (for Fiscal Year 2019) for any and/or all SCSC schools. 

The SCSC will cover the cost of the state's required annual financial audit (FY19) and any necessary Federal Single Audit for any state charter school choosing to use Mauldin & Jenkins, LLC, Bambo Sonaike, CPA, LLC or C. Douglas Erwin, Jr., CPA, Inc. Note:  Unforeseen costs that require additional time and expense arising from a period are not within the scope of the SCSC’s contract with the auditors and will not be reimbursed by the SCSC under this contract.  A school may negotiate additional services and fees with the Approved Auditor, but the costs will be borne solely by the state charter school. 

All schools planning to take advantage of this offer must notify me (Terence.Washington@scsc.georgia.gov ) by 5:00 PM on May 31, 2019.
