Benjamin Lau, CPA, CGMA

Assurance Partner

I assist cities and associated entities in managing intricate regulations, ensuring compliance, and averting fraud or loss. Through my guidance, they can establish strategic processes and governance frameworks to serve their constituents with transparency and excellence.

How I deliver value to you

Leveraging more than 18 years of professional experience providing auditing, accounting, and consulting services to the public sector, I am proud to have managed audits for major cities, counties, and government sectors in California, including the city of San José and the County of Santa Clara.  

Government entities face a myriad of challenges, and it is critical to maintain the public’s trust. This is why I am passionate about discovering and creating efficiencies in our general-purpose financial statement audits through the utilization of CaseWare Connector applications and the generation of client financial statements — a methodology used by organizations of all sizes and complexities.
