Internal Audit

The report was presented by the committee’s chair, Soror Cynthia Fuller. The

following information was presented and recommendation approved:

The committee reviewed the financial records of the Dallas Alumnae Chapter for

the period covering the first quarter 2013, July 1 through September 30th

. The

statistical sampling method was utilized to audit receipts and disbursements were

random sampling. The sampling selection was a minimum of 25% of the

disbursements and 50% of the monthly deposits. Financial records reviewed

were check register, treasurer’s report, bank statements, check vouchers, income

transmittals and receipts. The minutes, approved budget and any signed contracts

during the audit period were also reviewed.

Specific areas audited for compliance were:

Review of Income Transmittals

Timeliness of deposits with 48 hours of receipt

Appropriate approvals and documentation of vouchers

Authorized signatures on checks

Budget allocation

Verification of amounts on bank statements per treasurer’s report

and receipt of income from Financial Secretary

Verification that dues are transmitted to Grand Chapter within 30

days of receipt

Verification that policy and procedures were followed


Receipt Findings:

There were 23 deposits per bank statements for this audited period and all were

reviewed. The deposits reviewed were compared to the Financial Secretary

records and Treasurer’s reports. The major weakness was deposits were not made

timely.

Disbursements Findings:

There were 38 disbursements during this period and all were reviewed but took a

sampling of only 13. The major weakness was supporting documents were not

available for five of the 13 sampled.

The Internal Audit committee met with the Financial Team and have discussed our

findings and suggested ways to make an improvement on the audit. The Internal

Audit (IA) report as of this fiscal year must be submitted quarterly via the red
