Net assets are tracked with and without donor restriction, each restricted gift is tied to its purpose and period, and releases from restriction are documented as the conditions are satisfied. That documentation trail is what an auditor tests, and reconstructing it after the fact is where most of the audit cost goes.
We maintain the reconciliation package and statement of functional expenses monthly, in the format the audit and the 990 draw from. We are not your auditor — independence rules prevent it — but our clients typically go into fieldwork with the schedules already prepared.
Bank, card and payment-processor reconciliation to zero unexplained difference; AP and AR aging tied to their balance sheet control accounts; payroll and employer taxes posted and reconciled; accruals, prepaids and deferred revenue booked; depreciation posted; a full balance sheet reconciliation with a schedule behind every account; and a variance review against budget and prior month before anything is distributed.
Ten business days is a comfortable standard for most businesses under $20M, and that is what we run to. Five is realistic for a simple single-entity company with automated feeds. If yours takes twenty, the cause is almost always sequencing rather than staffing — cash has to reconcile before AP, AP before accruals, accruals before the P&L means anything.
