KMAAG Audit Services – Lawrence (KS)

Municipalities in and around Lawrence and throughout the State of Kansas are responsible for managing the public’s funds. Because of this duty, an audit of your financial records is an important part of a government’s annual operations.

The audit report provides elected officials and taxpayers with the opportunity to gain a better understanding of the whole picture of the municipality’s financial position including receipts, expenditures and unencumbered cash.

Through the audit and report delivery process, you are provided assurance that the financial statement provided is free of material misstatements and confidence that the internal control structure of the government is effective and working efficiently.

Municipalities can choose whether to follow the regulatory basis of accounting under the  Kansas Municipal Audit and Accounting Guide (KMAAG) or to use Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Whichever route you choose comes with different challenges and opportunities. For this reason, it is important to work with an experienced auditor familiar with your preferred basis of accounting who can guide you through the audit process.

Lawrence Business Community

The farming community surrounding Lawrence, Kansas, is characterized by a blend of traditional agriculture and innovative, sustainable practices. Situated in the fertile Kansas River Valley, the region supports the production of corn, soybeans, wheat, and alfalfa, with favorable soils and moderate rainfall contributing to successful harvests. In addition to these staple crops, farmers in the area are increasingly experimenting with specialty products, including organic produce, fruits, and flowers, catering to the local food movement.

Lawrence’s proximity to a highly engaged consumer base, including students and faculty from the University of Kansas, has fostered a growing interest in sustainable agriculture. This shift is reflected in the expansion of community-supported agriculture (CSA) programs, farmers’ markets, and direct-to-consumer sales. Additionally, the city’s focus on sustainability has encouraged some farms to adopt regenerative practices, including cover cropping, no-till farming, and rotational grazing.
