Corrective Action: The Organization transitioned from one CFO to a new CFO. During this period of transition, they also increased the funding being used for construction of a new clinic. The new CFO did not review the information and transactions performed by the old CFO, and this resulted in the initial land purchase not being properly recorded. Because the bank maintained control of the loan proceeds, the ongoing loan disbursements were not run through the normal check disbursement process by the Organization. The Organization has created a new policy to track and account for disbursements that are not run through the organizations bank accounts.
