28 Types of Reports Prepared by CPA firms Audit – Highest form of reliability, detailed analysis & transaction testing (on a sample basis), provides assurance that the statements present fairly the financial position Review – Limited to an analytical review with no detailed transaction testing, variation analysis performed to compare current year with prior years for reasonableness, provides limited assurance about the financial position Compilation – Involves converting raw financial information into a readable format, no opinion is expressed

29 Independent Auditors Report To the Board of Directors of the Hope Agency We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of financial position of Social Service Agency as of June 30, 2006, and the related consolidated statements of activities, functional expenses, and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Organization's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. The prior-year summarized comparative information has been derived from the Organization's 2005 financial statements and, in our report dated October 25, 2005, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements. We conducted our audit in accordance with U.S. generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Social Service Agency and Affiliates at June 30, 2006, and the changes in their net assets and their cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

35 Operating Reserve Information Operating Reserve Policy Toolkit for Nonprofit Organizations (September 2010 Sponsored by the National Center for Charitable Statistics, Center on Nonprofits and Philanthropy at the Urban Institute and United Way Worldwide (http://www.nccs2.org)http://www.nccs2.org Why does an organization need an operating reserve? Unexpected shortfall in revenue Unexpected demands on your resources Unanticipated opportunities Less than perfect judgment and foresight A change in direction that is needed Day to day fluctuations in income and expense Seasonal fluctuations

36 Board Designated Operating Reserves Board designated operating reserves are that portion of unrestricted net assets that the Board establishes for the organization to use in case of an emergency or an unexpected event. According to the Nonprofit Operating Reserves Initiative Working Group the minimum operating reserve ratio should be 25% or three months of the annual expense budget.) Funding the operating reserve – the funds must come from unrestricted income and need to represent cash that is set aside. One method is to “fund depreciation”, another is to set aside a certain amount each year.
