Georgia local government audits, handled with clarity and confidence.
Georgia Audit Ready helps cities, counties, authorities, and special districts across Georgia prepare for and complete the annual audit or agreed-upon-procedures engagement the state requires — and get it filed with the Department of Audits and Accounts on time.
Audit compliance shouldn’t be a scramble every spring.
Every Georgia city, county, and authority has to answer the same questions each year: do we need a full audit or can we file agreed-upon procedures, is our federal spending over the Single Audit line, and will we make the 180-day deadline? We handle the process end to end so your finance staff and governing body aren’t figuring it out alone.
Know your requirement
We determine whether your entity needs a full GAAS audit, qualifies for agreed-upon procedures, or crosses the Single Audit threshold — before your fiscal year even closes.
Get records audit-ready
We prepare GAAP-basis financial statements, reconcile funds, and organize the schedules your independent auditor and DOAA both expect — including SPLOST and Hotel/Motel disclosures. Your organization can upload everything to its own encrypted Client Portal vault as you go.
File it right, on time
We manage submission through the DOAA portal within the 180-day window, and track your compliance status so grant eligibility and state assistance are never at risk.
Built for every kind of Georgia local government entity
Cities & Municipalities
General fund, utility funds, and SPLOST reporting for municipal governments of every size.
Counties
Multi-fund audits spanning general government, road & bridge, and special service districts.

A straightforward path from “where do we stand” to “filed with DOAA.”

DOAA submission & sign-off
We upload the final report through the DOAA portal, confirm receipt, and document your compliance status for the governing body.
“We went from filing late two years running to submitting three weeks ahead of the DOAA deadline. Having someone who actually understands O.C.G.A. 36-81-7 made all the difference.”

“Our federal grant spending pushed us over the Single Audit line for the first time. Georgia Audit Ready flagged it months before year-end so it wasn’t a surprise.”
