2011 Committee Audit Information
The 2011 Committee Audit forms, checklists and instructions are now available. If your parish requested that your 2011 audit be completed by the Diocesan audit team, you may want to defer the start of your committee audit until you hear from the diocese about the status of that request. All parishes should be notified about the availability of the Diocesan audit team on or before April 1st. The due date for submitting a committee audit to the diocesan offices is June 1st.

Diocesan Audit Team
Is your parish struggling with its annual audit requirement? Is the total revenue below $600,000? If you answered yes to both these questions, the Diocesan Audit Team can help!
We recognize that completing a committee audit may be a daunting task, and that CPA audits can be expensive. An alternative to both these types of audits is an audit by the Diocesan audit team.
The team is comprised of CPAs, parish treasurers, and individuals with financial backgrounds. They perform the parish audit with a trained eye toward helping the parish develop best financial practices and strength its systems and internal controls. The Team began its work in 2005 completing 9 audits that year. In 2010, we anticipate the completion of 30 audits. The program has been well received by parishes, and team members value their involvement in this ministry.
If you’d like more information about how the Audit Team might benefit your parish, or if you would like to become part of the Team, contact Sue Leishman, Chief Financial Officer at 216-774-0450.
