Crescent View Academy’s Administration and Board of Directors review the Budget vs. Actuals on a monthly basis. The Treasure of the Board meets with the Administration periodically to review expenditures and plan next fiscal year budget. All expenditures, Accounts Payable and Payroll are reviewed and approved by the Treasure of the Board of Directors. Since our tuition income is 40%-60% less than the funding of surrounding schools, CVA collects approximately $300,000 a year in fundraising efforts. This allows us to minimize our deficit. NOTE: CVA does not receive any publicly allocated funds from either Federal or State treasuries. Provided below are examples of annual and monthly budget scenarios. Attached to this document are real samples of our CVA’s Budget vs. Actual Reports. The Holy Qur’an has stressed the importance of fairness in business: “And, O my people, give full measure and weight justly, and defraud not men of their things, and act not corruptly in the land making mischief. What remains with Allah is better for you, if you are believers” (xi. 85-86).
