Audit Analysis Unqualified audit of entire CAP organization “A dedicated corporate staff responded with the training and resources to succeed. A command staff responded with the leadership and, ultimately, a diligent army of volunteers responded and made it work. The commitment of these team players has ensured success and illustrated financial accountability to the stakeholders. Witnessing an organization such as CAP emerge over the last few years with an unqualified audit has been one of the highlights of my career.” Billy Daniels, a certified public accountant and certified government financial manager with Wilson, Price, Barranco, Blankenship and Billingsley, P.C.
AF allocated $5+M for complete renovation of the NHQ building in FY09. It will contain a new floor plan, plumbing, wiring, lighting, insulation and HVAC. Plan removes unusable mechanical rooms and original dispensaries left from the building’s original hospital design. New “Heritage Center” will display important CAP documents and artifacts, and provides new conference center. Project is on schedule, with a planned completion date of 25 Jan. Funding does not include furnishings, estimated at $500k. Jan. project completion timing makes end of year funding not possible. Fallback plan is to use current furniture and replace remainder over a 3-year cycle. (one floor per year) NHQ Renovation
