About Us
Behunin & Associates provides internal audit and advisory services that help clients reduce risk, strengthen internal controls, and address complex operational challenges with confidence.
Founded in 2005 by David Behunin, we specialize in SOX compliance consulting, IT auditing, risk assessment services, and related advisory work. We serve clients across a range of industries, including financial services, healthcare, information technology, logistics and distribution, manufacturing, medical devices, online-retail, software, pharmaceuticals, and wholesale motor fuels, bringing practical, real-world experience to each engagement.
Behind every engagement is a committed team of professionals with deep industry experience. That breadth allows us to understand our clients’ needs, communicate effectively with leadership, and coordinate smoothly with external auditors.
We’re headquartered in the Greater Philadelphia area, with clients across the globe and in multiple time zones.
“I feel that Behunin & Associates is an extension of my department as opposed to a third party. We’re on the same page. I feel like they are my team.”
— Head of Internal Audit, computer services provider
Behunin & Associates is led by professionals with deep experience in internal audit, IT audit, compliance, risk, and advisory services. Under the leadership of David Behunin and Colleen Wolf, we help organizations strengthen controls, improve processes, manage risk, and respond to evolving business and regulatory demands. What sets us apart is our ability to combine strong technical capabilities with responsive, collaborative service, and a commitment to delivering value beyond the immediate engagement. Our team includes advisors, auditors, and specialists with diverse backgrounds in accounting, finance, information technology, privacy, and compliance. Many bring experience from top and mid-tier public accounting firms and hold, or are pursuing, credentials such as CPA, CIA, CISA, and CFE. We’re committed to continuous learning and professional development so we can stay current with regulatory change, emerging risks, and leading practices across financial advisory, internal audit, IT audit, and compliance. That ongoing investment enables us to provide clients with informed guidance and high-quality service in a dynamic business environment. We bring a practical, team-oriented approach to every engagement – helping clients address immediate challenges while building stronger control environments for the future.

Community involvement is part of how we think about responsibility as a firm. Just as we aim to bring care, consistency, and follow-through to our client work, we bring that same mindset to the organizations and causes we support. Giving back is an important part of our culture and one more way we try to make a positive difference beyond the work itself.
