Board meetings run better when the financials are clear before the first motion is made.

For community associations, audits, reviews, and compilations help directors see what has been reviewed, what needs attention, and what should be documented in the minutes. A useful board check before any financial vote:

1. Confirm the reporting period.
2. Identify open questions.
3. Review supporting schedules.
4. Note any follow-up items.

Recognized as experts in the industry, with more than 3,000 Association clients and over four decades of experience, we provide authoritative guidance that helps prevent and detect fraud and mismanagement of Association funds.

Here's a little secret boards should insist on: every financial report must answer a decision.

For community association boards, that means looking past the total balance and asking what changed, why it changed, and whether the change affects upcoming obligations. Keep your month-end review tight and focused:

• Actual income compared with budget
• Expense variances that need board attention
• Reserve activity and planned use
• Assessment collection patterns
• Items that need follow-up before the next meeting

Michael P. Mullen, CPA, PLLC provides professional financial statement attest services (Audits & Reviews) to Board members and their Associations in 15 states throughout the nation, with a focus on internal controls to better safeguard the Association's assets.

Financial confidence at the board table starts before the meeting packet is opened. When reviewing vendor invoices before approving payment, run these three quick checks:
1) Match the invoice to the contract or purchase order. Are dates, quantities, and rates consistent?
2) Compare the billed amount to your budget and recent spending to spot unexpected variances that need explanation.
3) Confirm proper approvals, billing codes, and that any related decisions will be documented in the minutes.

For community association boards, that discipline turns financial review into governance. Michael P. Mullen, CPA, PLLC provides professional support services to Board members and their Associations in 15 states throughout the nation, with an accounting perspective built for association operations.

A clear report does not need more pages. It needs the right questions in the right order.

Not sure if your HOA needs an audit, a review, or a compilation? You're not alone.

Here's a quick breakdown:
✅ Audit — The most thorough. Required by many states and governing documents.
✅ Review — A middle ground. Less intensive but still provides credibility.
✅ Compilation — Basic financial statement preparation. Best for smaller associations.

Not sure which applies to your community? That's exactly what we're here for.
