Joint Power Authorities

At Vicenti, Lloyd & Stutzman, we feel it is our obligation to not only keep current with general accounting literature, but also with the issues facing the Joint Power Authority (JPA) and education industries. We achieve this by actively participating in various organizations and subscribing to publications regarding the education industry.

We are available to help deal with the multitude of significant issues facing you and other organizations in your industry. Some of the important issues we currently assist our clients with include:

Preparation for the continued implementation of GASB No. 34, GASB No. 39, and GASB No. 45
Fraud investigations
Fraud hotlines
Tax-related issues such as unrelated business income, payroll and sales and used tax issues, required informational return preparation

We also recognize the increased level of responsibility being placed upon the governing boards of governmental entities, not-for-profit organizations, and public corporations. As a result of recent public scandals, we respect the sensitivity governing boards have when assessing their relationship with their auditors. The public accounting industry is built on maintaining independence, objectivity, and integrity, and this includes being free of conflicts of interest when serving in the attest function. These are responsibilities we take very seriously.
