2014 NEA Supported Events
2014 Financial Review
Merchandise Review – In January 2014, NEA conducted an audit of the merchandise for sale at the Jack Wilson Building front desk. Merchandise on hand was valued at over $15,000.
Treasurer’s Review – In February 2014, the Treasurer’s books were audited, noting a couple of small discrepancies:
- USBank is assessing a surcharge for counting large cash deposits. These surcharges were not recorded.
- A merchandise deposit of $971.50 was not recorded.
The Treasurer’s records were adjusted to reflect these corrections.
The NEA account was moved from USBank to Idaho Central Credit Union, resulting in lower fees and the ability to utilize electronic charges to debit/credit cards.
