Action to be taken – The Organization has updated its internal controls to reflect incorporate segregation of duties over the disbursement process and payroll processing. For payroll the updated process includes one person approving timesheets, another person processing payroll, the executive director and board treasurer approving payroll, and lastly include a final approval of payroll. For disbursements the director of operations will open the mail and code bills for expense accounts, the executive director will approve bills for payment, the director of operations will print checks, the executive director or board treasurer will sign checks, the community response coordinator will mail checks, and the board treasurer will review bank reconciliations completed by the director of operations. All reconciliations will be reviewed by the board treasurer. Payroll processing will be performed by an outside financial management firm moving forward.
Estimated completion date – In September 2024 the new executive director mandated her approval or that of the board treasurer for any expenses, including credit cards. In February 2025 we updated our internal controls and added an administrative assistant to provide an extra level of segregation of duties.
Responsible person – Carla Filkins, Executive Director and Julie Rushing, Board Treasurer
