Monthly Financial Report

Committee reviewed monthly financials and notes. Committee requests to make fundraising revenue lines more specific to identify what is coming from foundation grants and what is coming from private donors. 

Committee reviewed enrollment numbers for August and September and requested that FY18 enrollment data be included in the packet as a benchmark of our progress in FY19.

Revised Fiscal Policies and Procedures

Federal recommendations about receiving grant funds prompted a review of the policies and procedures. Lynne shared the changes and revisions to the Fiscal P&P's and committee members asked questions and made suggestions.  Committee will bring final version to the board for approval.

The finance committee wants to audit other items in the Fiscal P&P's. Fin Com will take one area per quarter to take a deeper dive into and test that management is following the procedures with fidelity. We will begin at the start of 2019 (Q3) with an unannounced audit of an area of the committees choice.
