Not-For-Profit & Government

Churches and Religious Organizations

Religious organizations are the hub of the not-for-profit world. Receiving more than half of all private charitable contributions and accounting for a significant share of private volunteer hours, they provide financial and other support to other not-for-profit charities, and some even operate their own charitable organizations. Our broad experience with not-for-profits enables us to provide the audit, tax, and consulting services they require.

Audits and Assurance

Our team conducts thorough audits that focus on your organization’s highest risk areas and assess its internal controls. Audit and other assurance services we provide to religious organizations include:

  • Financial statement audits
  • Audits in accordance with OMB Circular A-133
  • Internal control evaluation and review
  • Reviews and compilations
  • Agreed upon-procedures

To supplement these core services, we also provide:

Tax Services and Consulting

Because most religious organizations are generally exempt from income taxation, their tax needs differ from that of other not-for-profit organizations. Still, there are a number of tax consulting issues that arise for religious organizations that our professionals can help with, such as:

  • Sales, use, and other excise tax reviews
  • Protecting the tax-exempt status of your organization
  • Fringe benefits, deferred compensation, and Form 5500
  • Independent contractor versus employee determinations
  • Charitable giving arrangements with high net worth individuals
  • Unrelated business income tax
  • Political versus lobbying activity determination
