Finding Text

Management should revise the closing process and extend deadlines if needed to ensure the accounting department has sufficient time to gather, prepare, review the required information, and record all necessary adjustments in the general ledger. We also recommend that management take appropriate steps to hire key financial staff to enhance the overall internal control process.

Corrective Action Plan

We concur with the audit finding and are committed to implementing corrective actions. Management will hire key financial staff and implement a month-end closing schedule to ensure the timely completion of its monthly financial statements. Additionally, balance sheet account reconciliations will be prepared and reviewed on a timely basis to ensure all adjustments are recorded in the correct periods. A monthly financial statement package will be prepared and reviewed by Management to ensure appropriate presentation in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”).
