Preparing for your first audit—or your first year-end close—doesn’t have to be overwhelming. In this clear, practical session, Han Group CPAs Heather Johnson and Nancy Johnson break down the audit process in plain language and show nonprofit staff exactly what auditors look for, how to avoid first-timer pitfalls, and how to approach year-end with confidence rather than chaos. You’ll also get a preview of key accounting, audit, and tax changes coming in 2026 and what they mean for your organization.
In this one-hour session, you will learn how to:
- Understand the audit process, PBC lists, and what “audit-ready” support looks like
- Build month-end routines that eliminate last-minute stress
- Avoid common first-time audit mistakes (documentation gaps, unreconciled accounts, unsupported entries)
- Navigate essential year-end tax items, from donor acknowledgments to UBIT
- Strengthen IT and access controls that auditors increasingly review
- Prepare for upcoming 2026 changes in GAAP, audit standards, grant compliance, and tax rules
- Determine whether federal funding triggers a Single Audit
Attendees will leave with practical skills, clearer expectations, and greater confidence heading into their organization’s next audit.
