Financial Management
Sources and uses of financial resources.

An annual audit is conducted by an independent, certified accounting firm, with financial statements prepared with generally-accepted accounting principles. Audits are conducted in accordance with Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States.

Annual audits have concluded that financial resources are used for the sole purpose of supporting program services and activities. There have been no adverse findings in MHS annual audits, in audits of MHS supportive housing progams by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, or in audits of the MHS representative payee program by the Social Security Administration.

MHS makes efficient use of financial resources in the fulfillment of its mission. Analyses by the Cuyahoga County Community Mental Health Board in March 2008 revealed that the administrative overhead of MHS was just 7.74%. This is nearly half the average administrative overhead (14.41%) of the 20 agencies examined by the Board. Only two agencies had lower percentages: Catholic Charities (6.27%), and EDEN (5.82%).
