PROVEN ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Financial information for the organization as a whole was necessary to optimize management decision making. Developed divisional Financial Statements as well as consolidated financial statement by creating a new chart of accounts and integrating it into existing accounting software at no cost to the agency.
No formal procedures were in place to guide employees, safeguard funds against fraud and embezzlement, and maximize the use of cash flow for a $5M revenue agency to produce additional revenue. Developed and documented a thorough step by step cash management system beginning with service billing through receipt of payments and disposition of cash throughout the banking and investment process. Interest income increased by 400% in first year; accounts receivable collections time was significantly reduced, and cash status became immediately available to management.
Grants office of 2 year college had no written policies and procedures manual. Operations were dependent on one employee. Developed a comprehensive policies and procedures manual and implemented its use to resolve problems and conflicts, increase internal communication, and provide guidance so other employees could substitute for the regular staff in their absence. All tasks were documented, funds were transferred in an orderly and regulated way, and required audit documents were created.
Created a MS Access database to track 7,500 pledges and donations with 99.5% accuracy and a 98% pledge collection rate. In the process, 5 volunteers were involved over 5 days for data entry and one to assist with sending pledge notices and document payments.
Following a total collapse of tribal court record keeping, gathered all the information available from a variety of sources, compiled and cross-referenced case numbers, dates, amounts, and produced an accurate history of fines as well as a current list of unpaid court fines. The result was that the tribe recovered over $25,000 in revenue and the judges had current information to use in ongoing court cases.
