Our Stewardship Commitments
Explore the below to learn more about our stewardship commitments for financial integrity.
Integrity
We will do what we say, say what we do, and use all funds according to the purpose for which they are received. We will be truthful in our communication and accurate in our reporting.
Transparency
Upon request, we will provide any member in good standing with the most recent audit report of our finances and controls. We will also meet with any member in good standing to explain our budget and answer any questions. For regularly attending non-members, we will meet with them upon request to discuss our finances.
Audits
We will enlist the services of an independent, outside, certified public accounting firm to audit our finances and controls on an annual basis.
Controls
We will maintain standard CPA controls and practices to ensure proper handling and recording of all funds.
Compliance
We will comply with all federal and state regulations and laws in both receiving and disbursing funds. This includes end-of-year giving statements.
Oversight
The Elder Board will review our finances on a regular basis in order to maintain oversight and accountability.
Communication
In addition to weekly giving updates, we will hold an annual meeting for members and regular attenders to report the results of our audit and the present status of our finances.
