Management’s Response and Action Plan
Accounting 501 was brought onboard in fall of 2023 to expand the finance department. A significant amount of work was done to bring the current and historical financial reporting to a timely and accurate position. Financials and supporting schedules are currently being produced on a monthly basis. The 2023 audit is on track to be completed on a reasonable timeline.
