As many of you may know, the Book of Discipline of the United Methodist Church requires that all local churches have an Audit at least once each year. To fulfill this requirement and our stewardship responsibilities, we contracted with Eckler Consulting, LLC to conduct a detailed audit of our November 2007 through December 2009 financial activity and provide an assessment of our financial policies and procedures.

The audit has been completed and the Finance Committee met with Eckler Consulting on June 7, 2010 to review and discuss the findings and recommendations. Every financial transaction in every account was tested, and although some of our transactions did not meet the very stringent audit criteria, Eckler Consulting found no evidence that funds have been mishandled or misappropriated. The audit confirms that any losses prior to November 2007 have been restored. Our Internal Revenue Service status has been cleared up and we are in good standing with them.
If anyone would like to review the Audit Report, please see the Chair of Finance.
