Finding 2019-001 ? Financial Statement Preparation The Organization will continue to review the financial statements and required footnotes prepared by the external auditors. The Organization believes this process to be the most economical and appropriate to help ensure complete and proper financial reporting. Person(s) Responsible: Executive Director and Director of Operations Timing for Implementation: There is no anticipated completion date for this item. Finding 2019-002 ? Procurement To ensure the Procurement Policy is not incorrectly applied, the following action plan was immediately implemented: 1. Procurement Policy was amended to include more manageable levels of procurement requirements and clarifying language was added to ensure proper interpretation. YWCA Board of Directors approved the amendment on October 15, 2019, at its monthly meeting. 2. YWCA Staff, who are involved at any level of approving purchases, received a laminated copy of the YWCA Purchasing and Procurement Policy for their reference, with additional training for the Executive Director and the Director of Operations. 3. These staff will also receive training regarding the YWCA Purchasing and Procurement Policy, so the organization can ensure that as soon as spending is to occur, the policy can be followed. 4. At the monthly November meeting, YWCA Board members will also receive a copy of the amended Purchasing and Procurement Policy and receive training on how to monitor board review and approval of YWCA expenditures, to ensure that the Procurement Policy is correctly followed. 5. YWCA Fiscal Staff have begun implementing a tracking process to identify any possible purchases that could be affected by the Purchasing and Procurement Policy and to ensure compliance by organization.
