AUDIT REPORT

 As a member of the Warren County Izaak Walton League ("IKES", a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation) you want to know that the money you spend and donate to the IKES is handled responsibly.  To ensure this the Board instituted an audit policy beginning with the 2015 calendar year.  The purpose of an audit is to review the books kept by the treasurer to ensure all financial transactions are proper and well documented.  The First Vice-President along with two other non-board Ikes members are assigned the duty of carrying out the audit.  For the first couple of years the audit was more informal with a positive report returned to the Board.  Beginning with the 2017 audit of our 2017 year end the audit became  more formal with a written report issued to the Board.  The 2018 year end audit has now been completed and a copy of both the 2017 and 2018 audit reports are available by clicking the links below:
