20-25 2 3 Ballantine Church has been located on a central downtown street in Toronto for over 120 years. Originally, the church was in the middle of farmland, but is now surrounded by high-rise apartments and condominiums. The church has an active parish community that engages in fundraising in the neighbourhood, assisting the homeless, and providing drop-in housing during the winter. Francine, the parish priest, and the church board have decided it is time to have a review engagement completed for the church finances. In the past, this work has been done by church members on a part-time basis.
The church organizes its finances based on five funds: operating, endowment, youth, homeless, and music scholarship. Any transfers from the endowment fund to the operating fund must be approved by the board. The church has about $1.2 million in cash and marketable securities in the bank. The church is valued at zero on the balance sheet.
The church also owns a large house. Francine lives in a section of the house and the rest of the property is used for storage, as office space for three permanent church staff, and as meeting space.

b) Outline the process for conducting the review engagement and describe any analytical review procedures that you would conduct specific to the church. What type of questions would you ask that are specific to the church to address plausibility of financial information?

Melisa was distraught. While her grandfather was getting on in years his loss had come as a shock late that Friday afternoon. She could think of no immediate family to contact and wandered her apartment wondering what to do. Finally at 9pm she realized she would have to do something so she called the closest funeral home to her grandfather ‘Lost Days Funeral Home’. Not expecting an answer so late she left a message hoping to hear back from them after the weekend. She was shocked to have the owner of Lost Days call her back within minutes. After 10pm on a Friday when most businesses should be closed!

ABOUT CHILD AND ADOLESCENT HEALTH

Glenda R. is a parish nurse for Holy Cross Catholic Church. The church’s youth group teacher has overheard several of the 13- and 14-year-old teenagers talking about dating and sexual behaviors. The youth group teacher invites the parish nurse to speak to the group about sex and abstinence. Nurse Glenda sends letters to the parents describing when she will speak to the group about these topics and what will be discussed. Parents who would like their child to attend this class are asked to fill out the permission form.

On the night of the class, 18 of the 20 youth group members arrive for the class with their consent forms in hand. The room is set up with chairs in a circle and a computer with projector next to Nurse Glenda’s chair. Using pictures on the computer, Nurse Glenda illustrates the basic anatomy of the reproductive system and discusses what should be expected during puberty. Most of the class time is then spent discussing reasons for abstinence, how to know when you are ready for sex, and how to say no if you are not.

Questions

1. 1. Which teaching intervention designed to gather questions and feedback about the lesson would be most effective for this age group?

A. A confidential question box passed around for students to submit any questions they have about sex.

Nurse Glenda reviews the papers and answers questions at the end of the class.

B. An open forum where students raise their hands and ask questions. Nurse Glenda responds appropriately.

C. A survey completed at the end of the class that students give to Nurse Glenda as they leave.

2. After the class has been given, Nurse Glenda talks to the parents and the church’s religious education teacher. Nurse Glenda believes that she can do more with this age group and would like to offer her services to them. She suggests that an evening of preventive screenings should be offered. What should Nurse Glenda screen for in this group of teenagers?

3. How can Nurse Glenda use interactive health communication (IHC) to reinforce the lesson?
