Management Response
The EXCELth Finance Department was delayed in providing timely financial information to your audit firm and provide the financial statements by the filing deadline due to the COVID pandemic and subsequent problems this caused in difficulties hiring and maintaining qualified individuals in the department.
To prevent recurrence of the late filing of financial statements, we have contracted with a temporary staffing agency, Robert Half, for additional qualified accountants to provide the following services: to assist with preparing timely monthly financial information for presentation to the governing board; timely reconciliation of all bank statements to the general ledger each month; timely reconciliation of receivable and payables subsidiary ledgers to the general ledger each month; preparation any necessary adjusting entries for posting; attend the monthly board meeting when financial information is presented; and provide the necessary assistance to prepare audit financial statements on a timely basis.
