Hi Chris,
I know the following UK-based accounting firm had previously indicated that they are available to conduct Horizon 2020 audits for U.S. universities, so presumably, they would do so for FP7, too.
If you want me to make the introductions, let me know. I've previously been in contact with Ellen regarding a similar issue.

Subject: EU FP7 Audit Needed
Looking for someone that has had a EU FP7 audit conducted by an independent accounting firm.
According to FP7 regulations, an institution that reaches the 250,000 euro threshold in FP7 grant funding must undergo an independent audit according to the terms of Annex VII - Form D in the FP7 Grant Agreement.
Can someone recommend an appropriate audit firm that is familiar with FP7 grants and can conduct audits in the U.S.?
