Corrective Action Plan

We increased our accounting capacity in late August 2023, and that staff member is now trained up. We have also contract with an outside consultant to see if we can streamline some of our processes and to see if we need additional capacity or a reallocation of tasks within the finance team. This increased capacity will give us the ability to better prepare and respond to auditor questions in a timelier fashion. We hope to complete our FYE June 2024 audit by November 30, 2024. Anticipated Completion Date: June 30, 2024 Responsible Contact Person: David Maloney, Shelter House Controller
