" Randolph College engaged Brown Edwards to conduct the College’s 403(b) retirement audit in the spring of 2010, after putting out an RFP. Brown Edwards was selected because of their experience. We are very pleased with the overall scope of the work and their response to the College’s needs. We also appreciate their pre-visit work and planning.."
Sharon M. Saunders - Director of Human Resources Randolph College
"The Brown Edwards staff are exemplary auditors. They manage the audit in ways that are instructional and helpful, as we prepare the reports and information needed to complete the audit work for our plan. They are organized, efficient and the preparation process is clear and easy to understand. They are thorough and always willing to answer questions or explain any part of the audit or clarify requirements. They are all competent professionals and a pleasure to work with and are always ready to assist us and facilitate an understanding of different aspects of the audit. This in turn helps us be more efficient in the work we do in preparation for the plan audit. I have worked with many auditing firms in my career and the Brown Edwards Team is one of the very best. I would recommend this firm, without reservation, to anyone."
