an organization of the Coalition's size and complexity. Generally Accepted Accounting <br />Principles (GAAP) accounting standards, conventions, and rules for recording and summarizing <br />accounts are universally applied, such as recording all revenue and expenses within the correct <br />accounting. The standards are supported by the organization's accounting system software and <br />all finance department staff are required to utilize GAAP standards. Annual independent audits <br />consistently report that the Coalition is in compliance with GAAP standards. <br />Finance reports are an integral part of monthly meetings of the Board of Directors, with <br />in-depth analysis conducted on a quarterly and annual basis, as well as during strategic planning <br />retreats. Monthly finance reports keep the Board apprised on the organization's revenues and <br />expenses. Established financial accounting and control systems allow the Board to make <br />informed decisions and to identify performance projection changes early so that management can <br />immediately initiate a corrective course of action to address any shortfalls. Pro forma financials <br />are performed and presented to the Board in advance of discussions related to new financial <br />ventures such as initiating new clinical services, expanding services in an existing service area, <br />or establishing a clinic in a new service area. These reports predict anticipated results of a <br />proposed venture, including projected cash flow, expected revenues, and possible debt, to assist <br />the Board in making informed, strategic decisions. <br />It is the Coalition's policy to arrange for an annual audit of the agency's financial <br />statements. The Coalition has historically received unqualified audit opinions from its <br />independent auditors. Annual audits consistently conclude that sound fiscal practices are in place <br />and the Coalition follows proper accounting procedure. <br />Organizational Description <br />
