About this file

This document is an Attachment 6 providing points for consideration in a financial audit of the Shelter Cove Timber Sale. The audit is intended to verify the accuracy of timber sales contracts, confirm the correct measurement and reporting of timber volume sold, ensure all payments are recorded and reconciled, and review any outstanding accounts receivable related to the timber sales. The audit will also track all costs associated with the harvest, including labor, equipment, supplies, transport and logistics, and validate invoices from contractors and suppliers. Additionally, the audit will ensure royalties and stumpage fees are calculated and paid correctly, assess the current value of standing timber and harvested stock, evaluate insurance coverage and risk management procedures, and check for proper authorization of transactions and effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting.

The document outlines the key areas of focus for the financial audit, which include revenue tracking, cost monitoring, compliance and reporting, asset management, risk management, and internal controls. The audit trail must also be thoroughly documented to enable future verification of all financial transactions.
