Cotton & Company LLP is a certified public accounting partnership licensed and in good standing with the Commonwealth of Virginia and many other states, and is qualified to practice in all other jurisdictions. Our practice specialty is the business of government. Since its founding in 1981, Cotton & Company has focused its practice on providing auditing, accounting, and management services predominantly for governmental agencies and programs. Many of our clients are repeat clients, which we consider evidence of our record of outstanding and timely performance and our sustained ability to exceed client expectations.

We have continued to expand our client base and range of services. Once providing limited financial audit services to our federal clients with a handful of auditors, we have grown to a firm of 10 partners and 100 employees providing a full range of services. One constant has been our focus on the governmental environment. As a result, we are well qualified to provide services in this specialized arena, and all of our personnel are thoroughly familiar with auditing standards, federal accounting standards, cost accounting concepts, and administrative requirements covering a wide variety of governmental assignments.

We have completed thousands of engagements for government clients encompassing a broad range of related services:

• Federal financial statement audits
• IT System and security audits and reviews
• Financial and performance audits of government agencies
• Financial and compliance audits of government contracts and grants
• Accounting system evaluation and design
• Audit resolution
• Litigation Support
• Financial Management Consulting
• Training

A key to Cotton & Company's long-term and consistent success is partner involvement in daily engagement management. Partners are thus able to provide their unique, specialized perspectives to each engagement, foster continuing relationships with our clients, and enable professional growth for all personnel. We emphasize the importance of quality on all engagements, and direct partner involvement is our commitment.

Cotton & Company has a solid, well-earned professional reputation gained over 26 years; considerable experience in providing a full range of audit, accounting, and consulting services to federal clients, and a keen interest in remaining the forefront of our profession.
