Corrective Action Plan

During the year ended March 31, 2022, The Project of the Quad Cities implemented a new accounting software which tightened internal controls with a limited staff. We have applied features in the system that reduced and helped eliminate some of the risk to the Organization. The Board of Directors has recruited an experienced professional within the community to serve as Treasurer on the Board. Collaboration will continue with our independent accounting firm to ensure that we are following all appropriate practices.
