Corrective Action Plan

In March 2023, the Organization contracted a third-party accounting firm that implemented new accounting and financial reporting procedures. While this could not cover prior lost information, their updated processes and support ensured the books of record were correctly stated and supported to have accurate July 31, 2024, financial statements and related notes. Specific additional actions taken include the following internal controls: 1. All reconciliations are now reviewed by multiple individuals, including the third-party accounting firm and management, before they are finalized. 2. In July 2024, the Organization retained the services of a third-party fractional CFO, who is providing an additional level of review to ensure completeness and accuracy. 3. The Organization has increased the use of shared, company-controlled electronic data storage to ensure the retention of all source documentation.
