<html><head><style type='text/css'>body { font-family: 'Arial'; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000}</style></head><body>We use a local firm, Thompson & Brown, CPA's, in Jacksonville, NC. They perform a review of internal controls for Trinity UMC. That is the only type of "audit" that we have ever had done. Last year, after discussing it with our Committee on Finance, we asked for an estimate to have a full audit performed. It would have cost several thousand dollars and they decided against it. We continue with the internal control review and the fee is $800. Our committee has been very satisfied with what we received for the money.<br><br>Don Horne, Financial Officer<br>Trinity United Methodist Church<br>301 Marine Boulevard<br>Jacksonville, NC <br>(910) 455-4814<br><br><br>----- Original Message -----<br>From: "Sheila Ahler" <sahler@cbh.com><br>To: lcfinance@listserv.nccumc.org<br>Sent: Monday, February 18, 2008 3:08:24 PM (GMT-0500) America/New_York<br>Subject: [LCFinance] {Disarmed} Audit question<br><br><title>Audit question</title>
