At Welch, we provide audit and advisory services to both public sector and private sector clients. In addition to traditional audit and tax services, we perform internal audit engagements, organizational reviews, accounting implementations, due diligence, technical accounting training, and white paper development. I'm an expert in public-sector accounting standards (PSAS) as well as International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS). On this note, I regularly speak on these topics at industry conferences and university lectures.
