Recommendation: Marshall Jones recommends that the Organization establish a process to close their year-end books in a timely manner and begin the audit well in advance of the filing deadline for the data collection form and reporting package. Views of Responsible Officials: Management of BGCCG acknowledges the finding and concurs with the recommendation. Response of Responsible Officials: To continuously improve BGCCG’s Accounting and Financial Reporting, workflow, and internal controls, BGCCG has begun the process to transition the back-office accounting providers from part-time status to full-time status to sufficiently accommodate the needs of the Organization. BGCCG will employ a full-time Chief Finance & Administrative Officer (CFAO), preferably with CPA/CGMA certification, and strong analytical and financial modeling and forecasting skills as well as deep knowledge of GAAP for nonprofits. This pivotal role will provide strategic direction to ensure the financial health of the Organization while driving innovative financial solutions.
