Examinations of Compliance with Federal Programs

We are primarily engaged to perform attestation services for program compliance audits for the USDA Food and Nutrition Service multi-state food processor program.  In this program, national food manufacturers convert donated USDA commodities to finished ready-to-serve or partially-complete school lunch meals. The audits for this program are done under specific guidance provided by the USDA Inspector General’s audit guide.  This guide and details of the performance audit can be found at:

We belong to the American Commodities Distribution Association.  This trade group provides important tools to food processors participating in this program.  The ACDA can be found at:
