Corrective Action Plan

A Director of Finance was hired in March 2023 to ensure timeliness of financial statements filings. An upgraded accounting software (NetSuite) was implemented in May 2023 which created some temporary delays in timeliness of reporting as finance employees were trained on new processes. The accounting software upgrade is creating efficiencies that should facilitate the timely filing of financial statements moving forward. Contact person: Jen Swisher, Director of Finance. Anticipated Completion Date: December 1, 2023.
