Monthly Financial Statements
The WSBA produces internal unaudited financial statements each month. These reports are made up of income (profit/loss) statements for each of the WSBA’s cost centers which show monthly and year-to-date financial activities and the budget associated with each of those activities, a summary sheet combining all cost centers to provide an overall picture of the financial status of the organization at the end of each month, and a cash balances statement showing the WSBA’s current cash and investments allocations. WSBA’s year-end financial statements are audited each year by an independent accounting firm.
