As a Director with the Firm’s Assurance practice, Scott advises clients in all phases of financial reporting. He oversees engagement planning, performance of audit tests and report writing. Clients have sought Scott’s knowledge in documenting, evaluating and identifying areas of improvement in internal controls and processes, and his assistance in the writing of financial statements.

Scott primarily provides audit services to clients in the Government & Public Sector. Scott served in the GASB Practice Fellow Program for a two-year rotation and returned to Cherry Bekaert with vast experience in financial standard setting. Scott was on the forefront of evolving standards; since GASB is currently considering significant changes to financial reporting and presentation, Scott’s involvement provides unique insights and access to future developments.
