SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY

: The general ledger is not prepared on a timely basis. The bank statements and other original documents were not provided to the book keeper until six months after year end. As a result, they were not available to the auditor until after the original due date of the report, September 30, 2020, and resulted in untimely filings. This also impairs the implementation of supervisory procedures necessary for internal controls.
