  7. How to Prepare for an Audit • Gather Paperwork and Supporting Documentation for the Claim Being Audited • Make Sure your Accounting System Supports the Documents • Be Prepared to Explain How Items are Tracked and Invoiced Through Your Accounting System

  8. “Accounting System” • A mechanism for businesses to enter data into a manual or computerized system to identify and classify assets, liabilities and disbursements; this mechanism allows businesses to identify and track financial and operational transactions for billing and reporting purposes.

  9. “Accounting System” • “At the heart of modern financial accounting is the double-entry bookkeeping system. This system involves making at least two entries for every transaction: a debit in one account, and a corresponding credit in another account. The sum of all debits should always equal the sum of all credits. This provides an easy way to check for errors.” “Accountancy." Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. 7 Feb 2007.

  10. Remember • No one Likes to be Audited. Knowing what to do can make it easier. • Audit is Designed to Make Sure Everyone’s Costs are Adequately Documented, for a Level Playing Field

  11. The End “I didn’t really say everything I said.” Yogi Berra
