USDA has informed us that there are Federal audit requirements on entities that receive in excess of $750,000 of Federal money in a calender year. We anticipate reaching this threshold in 2024, with an audit then required in 2025. USDA will be providing ARWP, Inc. with parameters, requirements and guidance prior to 2024 so that accounting can prepare for the process.
The BoD President has instructed the Treasurer and Secretary to review applicable sections of the current bylaws, and with review by accounting and legal counsel, to present updated language to the BoD at the July 13, 2022 meeting for vote and adoption.
