by Ian Robinson, Finance Committee
Continuing the desire to communicate in the spirit of transparency and openness, Father Patrick presents a condensed Statement of Revenue and Expense for the First Quarter of 2012. Click on the file name, below.
You will notice that we ended the Quarter with a deficiency of some $913. Fortunately, this is largely a matter of timing. Total income is some $2,000 ahead of both budget and previous year comparison. However, Ordinary Revenue is behind by an equal figure, which might indicate that we need to focus on this category, going forward.
