Internal Audit chairperson Andrea Wright. After the review by the committee, it was determined that

the chapter has satisfactory financial internal controls and the review supports the existence and

completed by external auditor, Charles Paul, CPA. The final audit report was issued on August 26, 2016.

In his opinion the financial statements present fairly the financial position of the chapter as of June 30,

2016 and changes in the net assets and cash flows that ended the year, are in conformity with the

accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. All forms required to be completed and

submitted via the National Redzone were done on

August 30th, with the final approval signature from President Turner on August 31st. Copies are

attached to this report are the Annual IAR, the External audit report and the audited financial

statements.

FWA Confidential Page 27 of 45

In July, the National Audit chair informed all chapters that engage an external CPA of new processes to

verify the CPA's credentials. We had already engaged with Charles Paul before these procedures were

implemented, therefore, it did not apply to this audit. However, I did verify that his license is in good

standings.

Additionally, the directive does state that if the chapter has been utilizing the same CPA for the past

seven consecutive years, that the audit committee should consider entertaining proposals from other

CPA's or CPA firms to ensure the chapter is receiving the best service at a competitive price. A Soror with

an active CPA license may perform.

The audit as long as she is not a member of the chapter she is performing the service for.

To these ends, the Internal Audit Committee will be accepting written referrals of CPA's to send RFP to

for the 2016­2017 year. Please forward all written referrals to my attention no later than the November

chapter meeting. Thank you

Upcoming Activities: Meet ­Greet for new committee members

Recommendation: The budget for the 2016­17 year was adopted at $2,000. I recommend that it be

increased by $100 to accommodate for refreshments for the 4 quarterly audits that are required to be

performed.
