Finding #2023-001 – Material Audit Adjustments

Effect: Financial statements generated by the accounting system may not provide an accurate reflection of the Organization’s financial position and activities.
Cause: Significant noncash contributions not recorded throughout the year and new building project spanning over multiple years.

Response: The Organization will review the month-end and year-end closing processes. The Organization will review the annual audit entries as part of the closing processes and post any applicable entries prior to future audits.
