2023: A Year of Community and Progress
In 2023, your support helped us make significant progress towards the mission of empowering children and the communities in need.
An audit of financial statements and internal controls by an independent firm is crucial for non-profit organizations to ensure financial integrity, transparency, and accountability.
These audits provide an independent and objective evaluation of Moms Against Poverty's financial health, instilling confidence among all our donors, grantors, and stakeholders.
They are meant to help in detecting and preventing fraud, errors, and mismanagement of funds trusted to us by our supporters. Internal controls, on the other hand, establish systematic procedures for financial operations, safeguarding assets, and ensuring compliance with U.S. laws and regulations.
Moms Against Poverty had been conducting self-audits prior to being required by the Registry of Charities and Fundraisers to submit its audited financial statements along with its annual RRF-1 filing.
Additionally, we have been utilizing GAAP accounting standards, which form the basis for our audited financial statements. Together, these measures foster trust, support effective governance, and enhance the organization’s credibility and sustainability.
We are committed to continuously improving our financial practices to enhance transparency, accountability, and impact.
Thank you for your trust and for taking action to help to eradicate childhood poverty.
