Clydehurst Christian Ranch

“An independent accountant prepares the documents using the financial reports of the organization. The reports are produced with quickbooks non-profit, which provides the statements of income and expense and functional expenses for the form 990. The independent accountant consults with the board treasurer, bookkeeper and the executive director when necessary. Once the form 990 and associated schedules are completed, they are forwarded to the treasurer and board for review. The treasurer then makes available the completed reports to all board members and directors for their review. If corrections are necessary, they are reviewed with the independent accountant and changed when necessary. The independent account then submits them to the irs. A copy of all previous years filings are kept with each other and the company's financial recors in the company's office.”

“At the annual meeting in november, each officer and director must disclose all possible conflicts of interest. Due to our small size, all board members, officers, and directors are also involved as volunteers at the camp and abide by the bylaws of clydehurst christian ranch, inc., and are keenly aware of any possible conflicts of interest.”

“Compensation is determined by the board officers without the presence of any employees or the executive director. Local area salaries and wages are considered as well as like position in other parts of the country.”
