At Heartwood Cohousing we’ve never had an audit, or really even considered it. We’ve been around for 20 years. I oversee our books, but don’t do the bookkeeping. I feel that we have enough checks and balances and internal controls in place that an audit wouldn’t be needed. But maybe I’m being naive. FWIW, in a previous lifetime I was a CPA and auditor with a public accounting firm. -- Mac Thomson Heartwood Cohousing Southwest Colorado http://www.heartwoodcohousing.com "There never was a good war or a bad peace." - Benjamin Franklin ********************************************************** > On Oct 17, 2019, at 12:17 AM, S.
