Food Program Audit

School Lunch & Adult Care Center Food Program Audits

We recently launched FoodAuditCPA to showcase Hutman’s position as the leading food program auditing practice in New Jersey serving adult day care centers, child care centers & local schools.

Lunch and Food Program audits are a subcategory of the broader term of Program Specific Audits. A program-specific audit is an audit of one grant or group of grants from a federal or state agency, in accordance with Federal laws, regulations, or audit guides relative to that particular grant or award. It does not require a financial statement audit of the entire entity. The audit is conducted in accordance with  Government Auditing Standards (GAS). Program specific audits cover the fiscal or calendar year of the grant being audited. Internal control structures and compliance with significant requirements are tested as part of every program-specific audit.

The federal government requires a program-specific audit when the grant exceeds $750,000 of federal funds, but many states, including New Jersey, have a lower threshold.
