The Benefit Committee of Working Theater invites you to:

Working Theater’s 2018 Annual Awards Ceremony

honoring
Gary LaBarbera
President, Building & Construction Trades Council of Greater NY

at Sardi’s Restaurant
234 West 44^th Street (between 7^th & 8^th Avenues) NYC 10036

Working Theater (Mark Plesent, Producing Artistic Director) has been producing affordable off-Broadway theater FOR and ABOUT working people since 1985. The 2018 Annual Awards Ceremony will support Working Theater’s 33rd Season, featuring Five Boroughs/One City, a community-based initiative in which Working Theater has commissioned new plays to be created by writer/director teams partnering with community members in neighborhoods in each of the five boroughs of NYC. Season programming includes the 3rd full production to come out of the Initiative, the world premiere and NYC tour of ALTERNATING CURRENTS by Adam Kraar, directed by Kareem Fahmy.  Written in collaboration with residents of Electchester, a housing development in Flushing Queens built by Harry Van Arsdale, Jr. and IBEW Local 3 in the late 1940’s as housing for union members, the play is both a love letter to the spirit of community in Electchester and a cautionary tale about the difficulties of maintaining community in the face of increased diversity. In 2018 Working Theater will also engage communities across New York through dialogues and open mic nights, as well as continue our TheaterWorks! program, which teaches writing and performance skills to working men and women throughout New York City.

Evaluate Risks and Strengthen Your Controls

Internal controls are critical for achieving your nonprofit’s objectives.  Strengthening your control processes can help enhance effectiveness of your operations, reliability of financial reporting, and compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Performing ongoing reviews of internal controls, as part of your overall risk assessment process, is vital and will greatly benefit your organization.

During this session we will:

• Review key elements of internal controls
• Learn how to implement controls and practices to reduce the likelihood of fraudulent activities, and consider common ways in which controls may fail
• Understand the role of auditors with respect to internal controls 
• Discuss the role of the Board regarding internal controls and risk assessment
• Examine the cost-benefit analysis that takes place when designing an internal control structure
• Reveal lessons learned about implementing practices that strengthen controls, without weakening the bottom line

Join us and bring your questions!
