HAC was founded to bring senior-level federal audit experience to clients who can't build it in-house. Our work is grounded in 20+ years of planning, conducting, and supervising independent audits, evaluations, and reviews of government programs, operations, contractor activities, and grants.
As Assistant Inspector General for Audit at the DC Office of Inspector General, founder Ben Huddle directed 34 GAGAS performance audits that produced 243 recommendations and $117 million in fiscal impact — including $17.4M in recovered funds, $84M in questioned costs, and $16M in funds put to better use. Audit work exposed anticompetitive contracting at DDOT, drove funding for lead pipe removal in low-income neighborhoods, strengthened WMATA capital funding oversight ($8M recovered), and improved IT acquisition oversight for $171M in capital projects.
Before DC OIG, a decade at the U.S. DOT Office of Inspector General covered congressional-requested audits of FAA air traffic controller staffing, training, and safety — including an Employee of the Year recognition for developing a methodology to assess critical facility health. Most recently, as Senior Transportation Research Analyst and Acting Scientific Integrity Officer at DOT, Ben built the Department's research and technology risk register and established the Scientific Integrity Committee.
Today HAC serves federal agencies, state and local governments, and CPA firms entering the federal market. We also operate Heimdall Federal Intelligence, an AI platform analyzing OIG reports, tracking audit findings, and surfacing risk signals across 70+ federal oversight bodies.
Every engagement starts with a conversation about scope, risk, and fit.
