HOA Management Can be Overwhelming

When it comes to managing your association, HOA board members have the responsibility to understand A LOT – and it can be overwhelming!

If your board struggles with:

• Enforcing the governing documents
• Members consistently violating the HOA rules
• Funding issues
• Member involvement and understanding
• And more…

…you’re not alone.

Most HOA boards struggle with some aspect in each area because they just don’t have the expert knowledge or haven’t been properly trained as a board member.

General HOA Consulting

• Discover the necessary skills and tools to protect, maintain and enhance your HOA

• And much, much more!

Financial Audit

The Hignell Companies can provide an outside audit to help you evaluate your internal controls, make sure you’re staying compliant, and mitigate fraudulent activity.

We’ll help you ask and answer the right questions such as:

• Who is doing your financials and what do the books look like?
• Who is handling the money and what kinds of safeguards are set up to protect the HOA from embezzlement?
• What is the policy for late HOA fee payments?
• Who pays the Association bills?
• Do you have a reserve plan?
• What types of insurance do you have and do you need?

At The Hignell Companies we have years of experience auditing hundreds of homeowner associations with multiple cash handling centers.

Human Resources Audit

Every HOA board needs to have clear and comprehensive policies and documents for human resources.

Some of the documents your association should have in place, include:

• Employee Handbook
• Hiring Process
• New Hire Training and On-boarding
• Personnel Filling
• Performance Evaluations
• Termination and Legal Disputes
• General Wage and Hour Issues
• Job Descriptions
• Food Handling
• OSHA Compliant Safety Training

We’ll provide a report with a full review of your HR documents and provide a written document outlining the gaps and recommendations for closing those gaps.
