Finance Report

February SRCA FY25 Finance Report.pdf

 

Update on bonds - money was received as a reimbursement- this was applied to the bond - lowering our monthly payment - approximately $50,000-$ 60,000-year reduction in payments. 

 

Current cash balance - we are not receiving interest on this balance. Moving some of the balance to a CD for interest-bearing benefit.

 

Estimate for bus loans - $ 7,000 a year  - the reduction in our payments as well as interest from investments, will cover this unexpected line item.

 

Finance report - The current surplus/deficit line item is now correct. CSP has worked with us to reconcile the accounts, reflecting an accurate line item. 

 

Zach from CSP attended to discuss their accounting services. 

Our "current" package did not project surplus/deficits. 

CSP has now provided us with a comprehensive package that includes CFO services with a higher level of review and coding of line items. We will have this package free of charge until the end of the year. This ensures our report for the EOY projection column is accurate.
