Condition and context: The YMCA failed to include federal contributions of food commodities in its financial statements and its SEFA for fiscal years 2022 and 2023. Recommendation: Develop policies and procedures to identify and record in-kind donations at all YMCA sites. Planned corrective action: The organization has experienced significant growth in all major program areas, particularly in response to additional community needs presented during the pandemic. The YMCA is currently evaluating and revising the procedures around how the organization enters into all forms of agreements, including partnership and contribution agreements. The revision to these procedures, as well as routine formal interdepartmental communication, will increase identification and recording of in-kind contributions. Responsible officer: Jennifer Garcia, Chief Financial Officer. Estimated completion date: May 2024.
