    Audit & Attestation Services in Fairfax County & Tysons, VA

    Quick answer

    In Fairfax County and Tysons, most audits come from federal contracting and federal grants, not Virginia law — Virginia has no statutory nonprofit audit threshold. Contractors need DCAA-ready incurred cost and FAR-compliant financials; nonprofits hit the $1,000,000 Single Audit rule. Your Virtual CPA audits both.

    Which rules decide whether you need an audit in Fairfax County & Tysons, VA?

    Start here before you request proposals — the answer determines whether you need an audit, a review, or a compilation.

    Virginia charitable registration — no audit threshold

    Charities soliciting in Virginia register with VDACS (Va. Code § 57-48 et seq.). Financial reporting can be met with the Form 990, audited statements, or — for 990-N filers — a treasurer’s report. Virginia sets no revenue level that requires a CPA audit or review.

    Virginia nonprofit audit requirements

    Federal contracting — FAR Part 31, DCAA and CAS

    Cost-reimbursable and time-and-materials contractors along the Tysons–Reston–Chantilly corridor must support indirect rates under FAR Part 31 and submit annual incurred cost proposals (FAR 52.216-7). Larger CAS-covered contracts add Cost Accounting Standards disclosure and compliance.

    Federal Single Audit — $1,000,000 in federal expenditures

    Any nonprofit, school, or local government that expends $1,000,000 or more in federal awards in a fiscal year beginning on or after October 1, 2024 needs a Single Audit under 2 CFR 200.501 ($750,000 for earlier fiscal years). The reporting package is due to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse the earlier of 30 days after the auditor’s report or nine months after year-end.
