The Financial Audit for 2009 is complete! JIBC had a complete audit of our finances done by an independent auditor. The past three year’s audits reveal that we have excellent accounting practices in place. However, it is also noted that the church has been operating with a budget deficit. This means our income has not covered all our expenses and we have needed to use our savings to operate the ministry. Please pray about your giving to support JIBC so we can have a balanced budget this year and next. Also US Citizens are reminded that their giving to JIBC is tax deductible since we are a legal corporation in the State of Delaware. If you are interested in learning about the results of the audit or if you have any other financial questions, then please see our Finance Director, Deacon John Suwardi.
