Recommendations Financial statement audits for Habitat for Humanity affiliates “You did a fine job and the organization received an audit that it truly needed. I had already begun instituting many of the recommended procedures prior to my leaving the organization.” – Former Executive Director, Verde Valley Habitat for Humanity, Cottonwood, AZ “I served as a member of the Board of Directors for Habitat for Humanity of Northern Arizona, in Flagstaff, Arizona, from 2007-2013. I served as the Board secretary and chairperson of the Family Selection Committee. During that time Gary Krupa completed two financial audits for our local affiliate for the fiscal years 2010 and 2011. Gary was helpful to us and made recommendations for improving our operations at the close of each audit. When he met with the Board after the year-end 2010 audit, he suggested that by increasing our fiscal transparency, we would improve our image in the community. He provided several examples of how we could achieve that. I have worked with several auditors over the years and found Gary to be a competent and effective auditor with a high degree of integrity. He also worked well with our staff, directors and third parties.” – Patrick J. Carr, Educator, Labor Leader (Retired), Bureau of Indian Affairs (40 years).
