  • Prepare the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) and assist with Uniform Guidance (UGG) federal audits.
  • Collaborate with local units to provide grant support, billing reviews, and assistance during program audits.
  • Assist with the compilation of financial statements and the creation of annual budgets.
