Austin Child Guidance Center wants to provide confirmation that ACGC has good stewardship standards of the dollars entrusted to the Center:
- ACGC has an annual audit conducted by a CPA firm that specializes on non-profits. The auditor presents and discusses the audit to either the full board or the finance committee of the board. Our 2009 audit has been completed. We have consistently had clean audits for over 30 years.
- Bookkeeping and monthly financial statements are prepared by a contract bookkeeper and office accountant. This provides for a separation of duties between check-writers (the executive director, CFO, and select board officers) and the person responsible for reconciling accounts. The bookkeeper and accountant are under instructions to go directly to the board if there is any suspicious activity.
- Client fees are paid by cash, check, or credit cards and a daily day sheet is done; these sheets are reconciled to the client fees received each month.
- Grants, contracts, foundations, on-line donations, credit cards, and cash are all recorded upon receipt, deposited, and entered into the revenue journal.
- Criminal background checks are conducted for all employees, contract employees, and volunteers.
