Exploring Contractor Business System Reviews for A&E Firms

Architectural & Engineering (A&E) firms that propose or work on government contracts may be required to have an adequate system review. In this episode of Cherry Bekaert’s Professional Services podcast, Brynn McNeil, an Audit Partner in the Firm’s Professional Services Industry practice, welcomes Eric Poppe, a Managing Director in our Government Contractor Industry practice, to discuss the types of systems reviews and the advantages these reviews can provide emerging small businesses.

  • The types of system reviews and why an A&E firm would need one
  • Size limitations and/or system limitations that A&E firms face when maintaining an adequate accounting system
  • Determining the best time to get a system review and the length of validity
  • Understanding who can perform these types of engagements
