Protecting the public trust. Spending taxpayer monies efficiently. Helping communities recover from natural disasters. For federal, state, and local agencies today, efficiency, transparency, and clearly defined checks and balances are of utmost importance.

Federal, state, and local government and public organizations engage CohnReznick for guidance on a variety of issues. We have direct knowledge of  government audit and accounting standards, financial regulations, compliance requirements, program and project management needs, and disaster response and recovery support. Our clients value our ability to deftly navigate complex inter-agency issues and relationship management. We provide:
