The only constant is change, and that’s true in the world of credit union auditing. Although the core mission helping credit unions prove they’re safe and sound remains the same, the role of today’s auditor has grown well past counting the beans.
In a Callahan & Associates survey of 20 credit union CPA firms in July 2018, respondents reported that, along with traditional work such as financial statements and verifying compliance with money-laundering rules and regs, they’re now moving into a broadening range of advisory roles aimed at helping credit unions respond to new opportunities in analytics, payments, and strategic planning.
Below is a breakdown of the top 10 auditing firms serving credit unions with more than $40 million in assets. These firms together served 1,048 credit unions as of March 31, 2018, compared with 1,007 served as of March 31, 2017.
The top four positions remain unchanged from this time last year. CliftonLarsonAllen (CLA) tops the list with a total of 261 credit union clients with $40 million or more in assets. The nod for single largest gain goes to Detroit-based Doeren Mayhew, which added 34 credit union clients with more than $40 million in assets. It stays at No. 2. With its acquisition of Padden Guerrini & Associates, RKL, LLP, added 24 credit union clients and jumps to No. 8.
