Fund Audits
Institutional-Grade Transparency for Every Asset Class
Building Investor Trust through Technical Rigor
In the investment world, an audit is more than a regulatory hurdle; it is a critical component of your fund’s credibility. Whether you are managing a startup venture capital fund, a complex hedge fund, or a large-scale real estate vehicle, your investors demand absolute transparency and precision. From fair value measurements of illiquid assets to the accurate calculation of carried interest, the margin for error is nonexistent.
We provide the sophisticated oversight that global capital requires. You shouldn’t have to explain your fund’s waterfall structure or SPVs to your auditors. At Calvetti Ferguson, we act as a technical extension of your team. Our audit professionals are dedicated to delivering precise, timely, and insightful audits that meet the most rigorous expectations of LPs, boards, and regulatory bodies, such as the SEC.
