Financial Protocol

No expenditure can be incurred without going through the Executive Director in advance. This includes reimbursement of expenses outside of established guidelines. If an expenditure is anticipated, prior approval must be sought from the Executive Director as soon as possible. Procedures exist and checks and balances are in place to ensure that all expenditures go through a proper approval process with the Board. All expenditures are accounted for during the annual budgeting and audit processes.
