Annual Audit in July

I want to share with you some issues that have been keeping this office busy for the past three months. The Local is going through its yearly audit, where we have an independent auditor come in to look over all of our financial documents from the previous year. This usually takes a better part of a week. The auditors go over all the finances of the Local, and each and every payment that comes into or leaves this office. They will then present the Local and the Trustees with a final report with recommendations on how we may best financially run our Local.

We are seeing all over the country that energy is in short supply and in the severe summer weather it is only getting worse. As I go around the system and speak with the members there is a growing concern on the demand and overload on our systems as well. This is where preventive maintenance is critical. As many of you know the local has been diligent in policing preventive maintenance and we are preparing to step up our efforts.
