All Units: Time For The Mid-year Audit
Mid-year audits are due to the council by March 18, 2010.
An audit determines the accuracy of the books, detects inconsistencies or errors, provides recommendations for corrective action, protects the financial officers, verifies that funds were sent through channels as appropriate, and assures the membership that the association's resources were managed in a businesslike manner within the regulations established for their use.
If you do not have an auditor for your unit there are other audit options. An auditor can be appointed from your membership for just this audit. Your audit can be done by committee, but no check signers can be on the committee. Your audit can be contracted out. Yes, it is an allowable expense, but make sure of the cost before hand.
Make sure all membership is current and has been forwarded to the council.
All the information about the audit can be found in Section 5.4 of the PTA Toolkit or www.capta.org/sections/finance/pta-audit.cfm is also a good reference.
