Audit

What the board has decided about this committee or office, and the reports it filed, most recent first. Generated from the published minutes.

These categorised views are best effort. They are read from the published minutes by a program, and what it can attribute to a committee depends on how each resolution happens to be worded — so a page may be incomplete, and nothing here overrides the minutes themselves. The raw minutes are the source of truth.

Please note. The board approves the minutes of a meeting at the meeting after it, and they are published then - so the most recent meeting is not usually here. ASF Members can read the draft in the board's own repository until it is.

Reports

2009-02-18 — William Rowe

There are no records to audit, no action by the committee in Jan-Feb.

The board is in receipt of the resignation of William Rowe, Jr. from
the chairmanship of this committee, and two calls on the auditcom list
for a replacement chair are unanswered.  It appears that the board needs
to reach out to the membership for a new chair of this committee, and
validate that over the past 8 months the sitting members of the Audit
Committee are still willing and able to serve, once called upon to
review the records of the 2007-2008 FY.

2009-01-21 — William Rowe

No accounting of FY 07-08 received, no action to take, nothing to report.
Note the 990 was to be filed by December 15.

2008-12-17 — William Rowe

No accounting of FY 07-08 received, no action to take, nothing to report.
Note the extension to file requires filing by December 15.

2008-11-19 — William Rowe

No records received, ergo no action to take at present and nothing
to report.

Proposed; that the standing Audit committee be dissolved, and simply
be formed at such point in time that there are an annual accounting
of the activity of the foundation.

2008-10-15 — William Rowe

No records received, ergo no action to take at present and nothing
to report.

2008-09-17 — William Rowe

No records received, ergo no action to take at present and nothing
to report.

2008-08-20 — William Rowe

With respect to FY2007-08 internal review, there is nothing to report,
still awaiting preparation of the records and financial statements to
begin the review.

Based on previous discussion by the board, the committee will proceed
with an internal review for FY2007-08, and at the board's direction
will not seek external review.

However, there is a pro bono offer of feedback by a CPA on the table,
and the committee will pursue this possibility once the records become
available.

2008-07-16 — William Rowe

Committee requests an appropriation of $5,000 for external GAAP Review
services.  One audit firm has been identified, CJBS of Northbrook, IL,
and a discussion of which firm to use is ongoing at the auditcom list.

Karen of SFLC declined to directly participate but remains available
to both the board and the committee for any legal queries.

The committee requests a timetable for delivery of all records, year
end reports and 990 submission for FY '07.

2008-06-25 — Henri Yandell

No activity from the Audit project this month.

2008-05-21 — Henri Yandell

There's been no activity that I can tell. Presumably the tax return
hasn't been started yet.

2008-04-16 — Henri Yandell

No activity this month - it's expected that things will increase in activity
next month, helping the treasurer with the tax return.

2008-03-19 — Henri Yandell

Justin and J Aaron requested that the Audit committee proactively help
them with the tax return. The earliest this will be needed is May 1st.
Both Gianugo Rabellino and Serge Knystatutas indicated that they could
help out in May.

2008-02-20 — Henri Yandell

No activity this month.

2008-01-16 — Henri Yandell

No activity this month.

2007-12-19 — Henri Yandell

No activity this month.

2007-11-14 — Henri Yandell

Two months in a row - there's been no activity on the Audit list.

2007-10-17 — Henri Yandell

As with last month, there's been no activity on the Audit list.

2007-09-19 — Henri Yandell

There's been no audit activity in the last month.

2007-08-29 — Henri Yandell

The Audit committee were intended to look at the 990 after Justin and
Aaron had put together a draft, but there was very little activity.

Given that there's only one task each year, it might be best for
the committee to be reformed each May.

2007-07-18 — Henri Yandell

We're in touch with Justin and Aaron with regards to when the tax return
will be ready for review, and when we need to review it by. The plan is
that we will review the return over a 2 week period in August.

Apart from that there has been no other activity.

2007-06-20 — Henri Yandell

The Audit committee are still inactive. The outstanding issue is
to find an external auditor for the ASF accounts, but this is not
actively being worked on.

We need to get in touch with Justin concerning the return and what
we can do to help.

2007-03-28 — Henri Yandell

The Audit committee are currently inactive. The outstanding issue is
to find an external auditor for the ASF accounts, but this is not
actively being worked on.

It's assumed that we'll be offering Justin our time in the third
quarter to help on the tax return, including doing a final walkthrough
of the return before it is sent in.
