Delinquent assessments are one of the most challenging responsibilities association boards face.

Whether you're a board member, volunteer, or community association professional, we hope you'll find this resource informative and practical.

Most boards understand the importance of annual audits. But did you know that audits alone are not what protect association funds?

Our newest PBM Perspective article explores how strong internal controls help boards reduce risk, improve transparency, fulfill their fiduciary responsibilities, and maintain owner confidence.

If your board is focused on protecting association assets and strengthening financial accountability, this article is worth the read.

Why does our association need an audit this year when we didn't need one before?

It's one of the most common questions board members ask during financial reporting season.

Many directors are surprised to learn that Florida law establishes financial reporting requirements based largely upon annual revenues, and that as associations grow, the required level of independent financial reporting often changes as well.

Our latest PBM Perspective article, "Audits, Reviews, and Compilations Explained," breaks down:

• The differences between compilations, reviews, and audits

• What level of financial reporting Florida law requires

• What an auditor's opinion actually means

• Common misconceptions regarding audits and fraud detection

• Why strong financial controls remain one of the most important safeguards for association funds

Understanding the purpose of these reports helps boards better fulfill their fiduciary responsibilities and maintain confidence in the financial operation of their communities.

Your association's financial reports tell a story. Do you know what they're saying?

Every month, boards receive a variety of financial reports designed to provide insight into the financial condition of the community. From balance sheets and budget comparisons to delinquency reports, prepaid assessments, reserve schedules, cash disbursements, and bank reconciliations, each report helps answer important questions about the Association's financial health.

Understanding what these reports are telling you can help boards identify trends, recognize potential concerns early, and make informed decisions on behalf of the membership.

Our latest PBM Perspective article explores the purpose of the most common reports included in an association's monthly financial package and explains how boards can use them to strengthen financial oversight and better serve their communities.

Reserve studies are no longer simply budgeting tools for Florida condominium associations.

With new Structural Integrity Reserve Study (SIRS) requirements under Chapter 718, rising construction costs, increasing lender scrutiny, and growing concerns surrounding deferred maintenance, reserve planning has become one of the most important financial responsibilities facing association boards today.

Our latest PBM Perspective article explores:

• Why reserve studies matter
• How SIRS requirements are changing financial planning
• The impact reserve funding now has on financing availability and property values
• Why proactive planning helps reduce financial instability and special assessment pressure

As lending expectations and statutory requirements continue to evolve, boards are being asked to think differently about long-term financial planning and community stability.

When things go sideways in an association, it’s almost never about what someone meant to do…

It’s about what can actually be shown.

Official records aren’t just paperwork—they tell the story of how your board operates. How decisions are made. How rules are enforced. How issues are handled over time.

And when that story isn’t clear or consistent, that’s when small issues can turn into bigger ones.

In our latest PBM Perspective, we break down what official records really mean under Florida Statutes 718 and 720—and where associations most often run into trouble (hint: it’s usually not where you think).

It’s a quick read, but an important one for any board member.

If this hits home, share it with another board member or someone involved in your community. These are the conversations that make associations stronger.

Learn what Florida HOAs and condominiums are required to maintain as official records, how compliance is evaluated, and what boards must do to stay organized and defensible.
