Evaluation Conclusions

              

Covington Ladies Home does not meet the following 2 Standards for Charity Accountability.

Standard 11: Financial Statements - Make available to all, on request, complete annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. When total annual gross income exceeds $250,000, these statements should be audited in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. For charities whose annual gross income is less than $250,000, a review by a certified public accountant is sufficient to meet this standard. For charities whose annual gross income is less than $100,000, an internally produced, complete financial statement is sufficient to meet this standard.

The charity does not meet this standard because it does not have a completed audit for the past fiscal year and its gross revenue exceeds $500,000. 

Standard 12: Detailed Functional Breakdown of Expenses - Include in the financial statements a breakdown of expenses (e.g., salaries, travel, postage, etc.) that shows what portion of these expenses was allocated to program, fund raising, and administrative activities. If the charity has more than one major program category, the schedule should provide a breakdown for each category.

The charity does not have a detailed functional breakdown of expenses in its financial statements (whether audited, reviewed by a CPA, or internally-produced) and IRS Form 990.

 

In addition, BBB requested, but did not receive, complete information on the organization’s finances and is unable to verify the organization's compliance with the following 3 Standards for Charity Accountability: 8, 9, and 13.
Covington Ladies Home meets the remaining 15 Standards for Charity Accountability.
