Financial Accountability

We have a responsibility to be faithful stewards with the resources entrusted to us and to maintain integrity and openness in our financial practices.

• We are governed by a responsible Board of Directors, none of whom are staff members or their relatives. Our Board meets to establish policies, approve budgets, and review operational results and accomplishments.

• Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. We obtain an annual audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards by an independent public accounting firm, Nethercott & Company Chartered Accountants. Copies of our current audited financial statements are available upon request or can be downloaded from this website (see below or click on the links on the side bar).

• We seek to conduct our activities with the highest standards of integrity and to avoid conflicts of interest. Because we believe that it is God's place to prompt a response to our fundraising appeals, we avoid high-pressure or manipulative fundraising tactics.

• Our fundraising appeals clearly identify the purpose and programs to which donations will be applied, and we ensure that all donations are used for the purposes for which they were raised. Our Board and Leadership Team have directed that all contributions designated for specific projects shall be applied to those projects. Occasionally, we receive more funds for a given project or appeal than required. When that happens, we use those funds to meet a similar need subject to Board approval.
