Iowa Governor Terry Branstad, Lt. Governor Kim Reynolds, Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey, the Iowa Senate, and the Iowa House of Representatives along with Iowa’s entire Congressional Delegation are unanimously standing together to pass a resolution in support of a strong, robust federal Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS).- EcoEngineers has announced that it has entered into a strategic partnership with McGladrey LLP, a leading provider of assurance, tax and consulting services focused on the middle market, which includes biofuel producers and petroleum refiners. This partnership between EcoEngineers and McGladrey lays the groundwork for a streamlined delivery of energy compliance, tax consulting and auditing services to the renewable fuels industry. McGladrey will provide general oversight of EcoEngineers auditing procedures and also perform independent attest engagements for all of EcoEngineers QAP clients. These added levels of due diligence will further bolster EcoEngineers’ robust RIN QAP verification system.
