• Verify Balance Sheet “Cash” is the same amount as the final cash amount on the last bank statement for the period under review.

• “Cash on Hand” - Count all cash on hand.• “T-Shirt Inventory” – Verify reasonableness of

inventory value by reviewing the remaining inventory worksheet and amounts paid for that inventory.

• “Bills Payable” – Verify amounts of unpaid invoices for period audited.

Balance Sheet Steps

• “Net Worth, June 30, 2015” – Trace to prior year’s balance sheet amount for June 30, 2015.

• “Surplus (Loss)” – Does this tie to the surplus (loss) on the Statement of Income and Expense?

Bank Reconciliation Steps

• Verify bank reconciliations are performed within 30 days of the bank statement ending date.

• Verify beginning and ending bank recon balances to monthly bank statements.

• Verify outstanding items from prior month cleared in the following month. – If not….why?

Cash Receipts and Deposits• Check addition and subtraction on cash receipts and

corresponding deposits.• Compare deposit slip amounts to those listed in the

bank statement.• Verify that income has appropriate backup (cash

receipts, cash count form). Total amount collected should match amount deposited in the bank.

• Verify receipts are allocated to the correct budget/account category on the Statement of Income and Expenses.– Members’ Fees– Fundraising Income

Cash Receipts and Deposits

• Verify checks received from parents or vendors are deposited in 1-3 business days.

• Create a spreadsheet with each deposit listed and verify cash receipts are presented in a timely manner to the person depositing funds.– Also, compare cash receipt dates with the date of

deposit on the bank statement.

Checks

• Inventory remaining - check stock to confirm all unused checks are present and in sequential order.

• Is the last check issued and the first check available in the check stock sequential? If not, why?

• Confirm check stock is retained in a secure place when not in use.

• Determine if any checks were voided.– Were they retained in the records?

Checks

• Who are the authorized signers on the bank account?– Former officers should not be signers– District employee sponsor should not be a signer

Disbursements• Review canceled checks to ensure agreement of payee name,

endorsement and check amount.– Can be printed front/back by the bank for the audit.– Reviewed online.

• Review canceled check to ensure check has two signatures and the signatures are from authorized signers.

• Verify check sequence • Trace checks to supporting documentation• Trace disbursements to budget approved by the membership or in

meeting minutes• Verify expenses are allocated to the correct budget/account category.

– Fundraising Expense– Business Expense

• Change funds used? Confirm money was withdrawn from bank and later redeposited.

• Determine if debit cards are being used and who the authorized users are. Ask if the debit cards are being passed around to unauthorized users.

• Trace supporting documentation (receipts) to bank statements.

• Trace debit card disbursements to budget approved by the membership or in meeting minutes.

Fundraisers and State Sales Tax

• Evaluate each fundraiser individually.– Products Sold and State Sales Tax
