This structured audit report is used by NJ PTA and PTSA boards to document their annual financial review for a completed fiscal year. A full audit covers all income, expenses, outstanding checks, deposits, and balance on hand.
The audit committee or independent auditor works through each section of the format, recording the organization's Employee Identification Number (EIN), the audit period, and a detailed breakdown of all financial activity. The auditor notes any discrepancies and records them in the comments section. After the review, the board presents the completed audit report to the general membership for adoption and required action.
This process ensures accountability, transparency, and compliance with NJ PTA standards and applicable requirements. Organizations whose annual receipts exceed IRS thresholds must file additional forms based on the audit results. See the related Audit Financial Review Form for a related financial document.
An independent review separate from the treasurer is a core requirement of PTA financial oversight. The auditor should verify each line of income and expenses against actual records and bank statements. Using this standardized format reduces errors and ensures all required information is captured for future reporting. For additional audit documentation, see the Annual Report Form.
