COMMENTARY
Considering the USCCB Request for Proposals
Kris Ward, VOTF Ohio
USCCB Request for Proposal: Annual
Audit of Dioceses and Eparchies
Please note that while the National Review Board has announced
the Request for Proposals for an auditor (auditing firm)
the RFP says the "final selection of the Auditor will
be made by the Administrative Committee of the USCCB."
The administrative committee of the USCCB is its most
powerful committee. It is composed of 55 bishops.
This selection will occur during the presidency and vice
presidency of Bishops Skylstad and Cardinal George. This
selection will not be submitted to the full body of bishops
for an up or down vote.
The key to what makes the audits effective is both what
information the auditors seek and what information is provided
to the auditors. The Gavin Group audits suffered from deficits
on both fronts - what was asked for and what was received.
The compliance audits hinge on the control and release
of information, which hinge on those with ultimate authority
in the diocese – the jurisdictional bishops and eparchs.
