Kane Balance

As an Audit Senior at CLA, I am responsible for leading and executing audit procedures for clients—with a heavy focus on higher education institutions, as well as some experience with Non-Profits and State/Local Government GASB Entities—while ensuring compliance with accounting standards and regulatory requirements. I plan and perform risk-based testing over financial statement and federal compliance areas, including cash management and Title IV programs, evaluate internal controls, and analyze client data to identify issues or trends. I also serve as a key point of contact for clients, coordinating information requests, reviewing work prepared by staff, and ensuring documentation is clear, accurate, and audit-ready. In addition, I support engagement management by helping meet deadlines, applying professional judgment to resolve issues, and communicating findings and recommendations to managers and partners.
