April 2010 Issue of the St. Louis American newspaperApril 2010 Issue of the St. Louis American newspaperARCHS' Organizational Resume

Since 1997, ARCHS has built an impressive resume. This on-line resume provides an overview of the collective strategic work of ARCHS' board, staff and funding/service delivery partners.

ARCHS' Financial Resume:

For the past 11 fiscal years (2002-2012) ARCHS’ financial statements have earned unqualified, or “clean,” audits from independent auditors.

Issuance of an unqualified opinion means an auditor, upon review of an organization’s financial statements and accompanying notes, concluded that the financial statements and accompanying notes are presented fairly and conforms to generally accepted accounting principles.

Financial statements certified as “clean” confirm that an auditor can report that the financial statements are reliable and represent the true financial condition of the organization.

The audit opinion is more than an approval of accounting controls and principles. The unqualified or clean opinion signifies that the financial reporting and controls implemented are proper and sufficient to ensure the accuracy of ARCHS’ financial reporting and balances.  It also promotes confidence in ARCHS’ various funders that ARCHS is properly managing its budget authority.

The audit opinion advances one of ARCHS’ priorities, which is to enforce sound financial management practices through transparency, integrity, and accountability. 

In FY09, FY11, and FY12, ARCHS also successfully completed Federal A133 Audits for its work with federal grants. ARCHS is also annually audited by the State of Missouri Department of Social Services. Examples below:
