In addition, Mr. Fedeli has served several organizations as their chief financial officer.  One particular instance involves a small independent non-profit college.  In that capacity, Mr. Fedeli was directly involved with or responsible for various audits, including:

While not all-inclusive, this listing provides a sampling of the types of services rendered and the variety of situations encountered.  In many cases, audits of non-profit organizations now contemplate the use of Government Auditing Standards, and are considered to operate in a governmental environment due to the nature of their contracts for federal funds.

In addition, Mr. Fedeli has direct experience providing auditing, accounting, tax and consulting services to numerous public and private clients engaged in:

• Real estate development and management
• Trucking Companies (formerly ICC regulated)
• Housing Finance Agency
• Savings and Loan Assistance

As can be seen, each of these provides insight into operational, accounting and compliance intricacies, such as cash control, regulatory and contract compliance, self-insurance, budgetary control, investment management, employee relations, cost allowability and allocation.

As a sub-set of services provided in connection with the audit of Mid-State Employment Training Consortium (“MSETC”), Mr. Fedeli has performed over twenty financial and compliance (program) audits of subrecipients (entities receiving funds through MSETC).  Mr. Fedeli also has extensive involvement in reviewing indirect cost rate proposals, cost allocation plans and single audit reports provided to MSETC  by a wide variety of non-profit and governmental service providers.

In addition, Mr. Fedeli has been engaged to assist MSETC in its efforts to monitor its subrecipients as required by federal regulations.  That experience provides valuable insight into the operations underlying those of the funding source.  This not only facilitates the audit planning process but enables Mr. Fedeli to assess current financial and reporting needs (and obligations) in light of the practicalities.

Most important, however, is his variety of experience and the ability to assess a situation, quantify the needs and requirements and respond with a meaningful product.
