Financial Integrity & Compliance

Get the data-driven insights you need to confidently assess and manage risk.

Getting the facts right matters.

Whether you are expanding existing financial arrangements, seeking new capital, considering affiliation or embarking on other strategic initiatives, you need assurance regarding the integrity of the financial statements that support those decisions. At HORNE, our opinion is more than providing compliance. Our integrated approach combines healthcare knowledge from our assurance, reimbursement, valuation and tax teams so we can translate data into knowledge and actionable insights to identify emerging risks and growth opportunities within your organization.

External Audits

You need financial opinions that lend integrity and trust to your financial statements, whether it’s to satisfy state regulations, long-term debt covenants or governance requirements. Our credentialed healthcare team executes your audits to help you identify and mitigate risk and succeed in an ever-changing healthcare economy.

Our healthcare auditors also have experience performing audits for compliance requirements, such as:

  • Office of Management and Budget Uniform Guidance
  • S. Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
  • S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)
  • 340B Drug Pricing Program

Internal Audit & Risk Advisory Services

When you outsource your internal audit and risk advisory projects or functions, it provides an objective, third-party overview of the state of your financial and operational controls. It also validates the accuracy of your internal reporting and control environment. This service is a positive, proactive way to identify and mitigate risks, safeguard integrity and verify compliance. The HORNE team brings experience and technology to full internal audit outsourcing and specific project-focused efforts.
