Accountability

HIGH STANDARDS FOR THE GREATEST IMPACT

 

CONSISTENCY AND TRANSPARENCY

United Way of Johnson & Washington Counties adheres to all the accountability requirements that United Way Worldwide has established. The United Way system has developed comprehensive requirements for audited financial statements. They provide a uniform set of standards for all United Ways in the preparation of audited financial statements and ensure consistency and transparency. The requirements are based on current best practices in our industry as well as generally accepted accounting principles and requirements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board. United Way of Johnson & Washington Counties (UWJWC) maintains the highest level of accountability to ensure that your donations are handled in accordance with all regulatory requirements. Every 3-5 years the Internal Operations Committee of the Board of Directors issues a request for proposal for our annual audit and IRS Form 990.  We are committed to transparency by providing our annual report, audit, campaign dollars raised, and dollars invested in local programs to the news media, the public, and most importantly, our donors.
