INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
To the Board of Directors
On Broadway, Inc.
Green Bay, Wisconsin
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of On Broadway, Inc. (a nonprofit organization), which
comprise the statements of financial position as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 and the related
statements of activities, functional expenses, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related
notes to the financial statements.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of On Broadway, Inc. as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the changes in its net
assets and cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States
of America (GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’
Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be
independent of On Broadway, Inc. and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the
relevant ethical requirements relating to our audits. We believe that the audit evidence we have
obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Responsibilities of Management for the financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; and for the
design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair
presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions
or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about On Broadway, Inc.’s ability to
continue as a going concern for one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.
-2-
Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole
are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that
includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance
and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a
material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from
fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional
omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered
material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the
judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:
Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due
to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such
procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures
in the financial statements.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of On Broadway, Inc.’s internal control. Accordingly, no such
opinion is expressed.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant
accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the
financial statements.
Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate,
that raise substantial doubt about On Broadway, Inc.’s ability to continue as a going concern for
a reasonable period of time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters,
the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control–related
matters that we identified during the audit.

the purpose of providing staff, support services, and assistance in developing and implementing the
social and economic conditions within the district by bringing together appropriate partnerships of
people, organizations, and funds to evaluate, facilitate, and implement Broadway development projects.
Basis of Accounting - The financial statements of On Broadway, Inc. have been prepared on the
accrual basis of accounting and, accordingly, reflect all significant receivables, payables and other
liabilities.
Basis of Presentation - The accompanying financial statements are prepared in accordance with the
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) as codified by
the Financial Accounting Standards Board.
The Organization is required to report information regarding its net assets and its activities based on
the existence or absence of donor or grantor imposed restrictions. Accordingly, net assets and
changes therein are classified and reported as follows:
Net Assets Without Donor Restrictions: Net assets available for use in general operations and
not subject to donor or certain grantor restrictions.
Net Assets With Donor Restrictions: Net assets subject to donor or certain grantor imposed
restrictions. Some donor-imposed restrictions are temporary in nature, such as those that will
be met by the passage of time or other events specified by the donor. Other donor-imposed
restrictions are perpetual in nature, where the donor stipulates that resources be maintained in
perpetuity. Donor-imposed restrictions are released when a restriction expires, that is, when
the stipulated time has elapsed, when the stipulated purpose for which the resource was
restricted has been fulfilled, or both.
Change in Accounting Principle - At the beginning of 2023, the Organization adopted FASB ASU
2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on
Financial Instruments, as amended, which modifies the measurement of expected credit losses on
certain financial instruments. The Organization adopted this new guidance utilizing the modified
retrospective transition method. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2023, are
presented under Topic 326 while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with
previously applicable GAAP. The adoption of this Standard did not have a material impact on the
Organization's financial statements but did change how the allowance for credit losses is determined.
Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Organization’s cash consists of cash on deposit with banks. For
purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Organization considers all unrestricted, highly liquid
investments with an initial maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Organization
does not have any cash equivalents as of December 31, 2023 and 2022.

DECEMBER 31, 2023 AND 2022
NOTE 1 - Nature of Organization and Significant Accounting Policies - Continued
Cash Held for Others - Included in the Organization’s cash are funds held for others. The Organization
has little or no discretion in determining the use of the assets and is merely a pass through (see the
agency funds payable note). Therefore, the Organization accounts for this as an agency transaction on
the statements of financial position.
Accounts Receivable - Receivables are stated at the amount management expects to collect from
outstanding balances. Management uses historical loss information based on the aging of receivables
as the basis to determine expected credit losses for receivables and believes that the composition of
trade receivables at year-end is consistent with historical conditions as credit terms and practices and
the customer base has not changed significantly. If the financial condition of the Organization’s
customers were to deteriorate, adversely affecting their ability to make payments, additional allowances
would be required. Based on management’s assessment, the Organization provides for estimated
uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to a valuation allowance. Balances that
remain outstanding after the Organization has used reasonable collection efforts are written off through
a charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to accounts receivable. Management believes all
receivables are collectible, accordingly, no allowance has been recorded.
Grants Receivable - The Organization receives government grants that are on a reimbursement basis.
Grants receivable include claims made on the grant for the current year spending. Management
believes the balance in grants receivable is fully collectible as of December 31, 2023 and 2022.
Promises to Give - Unconditional promises to give that are expected to be collected within one year
are recorded at net realizable value. Unconditional promises to give that are expected to be collected in
future years are recorded at the present value of estimated future cash flows. The discounts on those
amounts are computed using a nominal interest rate applicable to the year in which the promise is
received. Amortization of the discounts is included in contribution revenue. Conditional promises to
give are not included as support until the conditions are substantially met. Management provides for
uncollectible amounts through a provision for bad debt expense and an adjustment to a valuation
allowance based on its assessment of the current status of individual pledges. Balances that are still
outstanding after management used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the
valuation allowance and a credit to unconditional promises to give. Management believes all
receivables are collectible; accordingly, no allowance has been recorded.
Property and Equipment - All acquisitions of property and equipment in excess of $2,000 with useful
lives greater than one year are capitalized. Purchased property and equipment are carried at cost.
Donated property and equipment is carried at the approximate fair value at the date of donation.
Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives:
Asset Life
Buildings and improvements 25 years
Furniture, vehicles, and equipment 5 years
Construction in progress costs represent cumulative costs of projects not yet placed in service. No
depreciation was taken on these capitalized costs.

DECEMBER 31, 2023 AND 2022
NOTE 1 - Nature of Organization and Significant Accounting Policies - Continued
Valuation of Long-lived Assets - U.S. GAAP requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable
intangible assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Management reviews all material assets
annually for possible impairment. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment
recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the
estimated fair value of the assets. No assets are considered to be impaired at December 31, 2023 and
2022.
Agency Funds Payable - The Organization administers the Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT)
program at its Farmers' Market on Broadway events. EBT is an electronic system that allows a Food
Share recipient to authorize the transfer of their government benefits from a Federal account to a
retailer to pay for food. This program started with funds from the Greater Green Bay Community
Foundation Basic Needs Giving Partnership and United Healthcare Community Plan along with
strong collaboration between Wello, Inc., farmers' markets, UW- Extension, WIC and many more.
The receipts and disbursements associated with EBT are not included in the Organization's
statements of activities.
Revenue Recognition - The Organization records the following exchange transaction revenue in its
statements of activities and changes in net assets:
Special Event Revenue: The Organization conducts special events in which a portion of the gross
proceeds paid by the participant represents payment for the direct cost of the benefits received by the
participant at the event - exchange component, and a portion represents a contribution to the
Organization. Unless a verifiable objective means exists to demonstrate otherwise, the fair value of
meals and entertainment provided at the special events is measured at the actual cost to the
Organization. The contribution component is the excess of the gross proceeds over the fair value of the
direct donor benefit. The performance obligation is the delivery of the event. The event fee is set by the
Organization. The Organization combines in the statements of activities the exchange and contribution
components of the gross proceeds from special events. Special event fees/sponsorships collected by
the Organization in advance of its delivery are initially recognized as liabilities (deferred revenue) and
recognized as special event revenue after delivery of the event. For special events fees received before
year-end for an event to occur after year end, the Organization follows AICPA guidance where the
inherent contribution is conditioned on the event taking place and is therefore treated as a refundable
advance along with the exchange component.
Included in special events are:
Vendor fees: Included in vendor fees are booth fees for vendors at the Farmers Markets. The
fees are a stated price for each booth spot. The price is allocated between the number of markets
the vendor pays for. The performance obligation is met each week when the vendors attend the
farmers market. All performance obligations are met in the year the payments are received.
Food and Beverage Sales: Sales for food and beverages at events are exchanged for cash at the
price stated in the menu. The performance obligations are met when the product is delivered to
the customer as that is when control of the product transfers.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued
DECEMBER 31, 2023 AND 2022
NOTE 1 - Nature of Organization and Significant Accounting Policies - Continued
Contribution Recognition - Contributions are recognized when received or unconditionally pledged.
Conditional contributions and promises to give, are recognized as revenue when the barriers to
entitlement are overcome and either a right of return of assets transferred or a right of release of a
promisor's obligation to transfer assets is removed. Contributions received are recorded as net assets
without donor restrictions or net assets with donor restrictions depending on the existence and/or
nature of any donor restrictions.
Contributions restricted by donors are reported as increases in net assets without donor restrictions if
the restrictions expire in the reporting period in which the revenue is recognized. All other donor-
restricted contributions are reported as increases in net assets with donor restrictions, depending on
the nature of the restrictions. When a restriction expires, net assets with donor restrictions are
reclassified to net assets without donor restrictions and reported in the statements of activities as net
assets released from restrictions.
Grant Recognition - Grants are either recorded as contributions or exchange transactions based on
criteria contained in the grant award:
Grant awards that are contributions - Grants awards that are contributions are evaluated for conditions
and recognized as revenue when conditions in the award are satisfied. Unconditional awards are
recognized as revenue when the award is received. Amounts received in which conditions have not
been met are reported as a refundable advance liability.
Grant awards that are exchange transactions - Exchange transactions are those in which the resource
provider or grantor receives a commensurate value in exchange for goods or services transferred.
Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the customer
(grantor) in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in
exchange for those goods or services. Amounts received in excess of recognized revenue are reflected
as a contract liability.
In-Kind Contributions - The Organization records the value of donated goods when there is an
objective basis to measure the value. Donated goods are reflected as in-kind contribution revenue in
the accompanying statements of activities.
Donated services are recognized as contributions if the services a) create or enhance nonfinancial
assets or b) require specialized skills that are performed by people with those skills and would
otherwise be purchased by the Organization. Such amounts, which are based on information provided
by third-party services providers, are recorded at their estimated fair value determined on the date of
contributions.
A substantial number of volunteers have made significant contributions of their time to the Organization’s
program and supporting services. The value of this contributed time is not reflected in these financial
statements because the criteria for recognition have not been satisfied.
Functional Allocation of Expenses - The costs of providing various programs and other activities
have been summarized on a functional basis in the statements of activities. Accordingly, certain costs
have been allocated among the program services and supporting activities benefited. Those expenses
include salaries and wages, benefits, payroll taxes and certain office expenses, which are allocated
based on estimates of employee time spent on each function as determined by employees.

DECEMBER 31, 2023 AND 2022
NOTE 1 - Nature of Organization and Significant Accounting Policies - Continued
Advertising Costs - Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.
Use of Estimates - Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements.
Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure
of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
Tax Status - The Organization is exempt from Federal income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the
Internal Revenue Code (IRC). However, income from certain activities not directly related to the
Organization’s tax-exempt purpose is subject to taxation as unrelated business income. In addition, the
Organization qualifies for charitable contribution deduction and has been classified as an organization
other than a private foundation. The Organization is also exempt from State taxation.
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - U.S. GAAP requires management to evaluate tax
positions taken by the Organization and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the Organization has taken
an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by a taxing
authority. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Organization and has concluded
that as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken
that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements. The
Organization is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits
for any tax periods in progress. The Organization will recognize future accrued interest and penalties
related to any unrecognized tax benefits and income tax expense if incurred.
Reclassifications - Certain accounts in the prior year financial statements have been reclassified for
comparative purpose to conform to the presentation of the current year’s financial statements.
Subsequent Events - The Organization evaluated subsequent events through December 19, 2024, the
date which the financial statements were available to be issued.
NOTE 2 - Concentration of Cash and Credit Risk
The Organization may have deposits with a financial institution at times during the year that exceed the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance threshold of $250,000. The amount of the
accounting loss that the Organization would have incurred had the financial institution not been able to
return monies in excess of $250,000 amounted to $42,808 and $0 as of December 31, 2023 and 2022,
respectively. The Organization does not require collateral or other security to support deposits subject
to this credit risk.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT ON
COMMUNICATIONS WITH THOSE CHARGED WITH GOVERNANCE
To the Board of Directors and Management
On Broadway, Inc.
Green Bay, Wisconsin
We have audited the financial statements of On Broadway, Inc. as of and for the year ended December
31, 2023, and have issued our report thereon dated December 19, 2024. Professional standards
require that we advise you of the following matters relating to our audit.
Our Responsibility in Relation to the Financial Statement Audit
As communicated in our engagement letter dated June 20, 2024 our responsibility, as described by
professional standards, is to form and express an opinion about whether the financial statements that
have been prepared by management with your oversight are presented fairly, in all material respects, in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our audit of
the financial statements does not relieve you or management of its respective responsibilities.
Our responsibility, as prescribed by professional standards, is to plan and perform our audit to obtain
reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit of financial statements includes consideration of internal control over financial
reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not
for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control over
financial reporting. Accordingly, as part of our audit, we considered the internal control of On Broadway,
Inc. solely for the purpose of determining our audit procedures and not to provide any assurance
concerning such internal control.
We are also responsible for communicating significant matters related to the audit that are, in our
professional judgment, relevant to your responsibilities in overseeing the financial reporting process.
However, we are not required to design procedures for the purpose of identifying other matters to
communicate to you.
We have provided our comments regarding material weaknesses, significant control deficiencies and
other matters noted during our audit in separate letters to you dated December 19, 2024.
Planned Scope and Timing of the Audit
We conducted our audit consistent with the planned scope and timing we previously communicated to
you.
Compliance with All Ethics Requirements Regarding Independence
The engagement team, others in our firm, as appropriate, our firm, and our network firms have
complied with all relevant ethical requirements regarding independence.
-2-
Significant Risks Identified
We have identified the following significant risks:
Management Override of Controls – professional standards require the auditor to address the
risk that management is in a unique position to override controls that otherwise appear to be
operating effectively.
Improper Revenue Recognition – professional standards require the auditor to presume that
risks of fraud exist in revenue recognition.
We have designed our audit procedures to adequately address the significant risks identified.
Qualitative Aspects of the Entity’s Significant Accounting Practices
Significant Accounting Policies
Management has the responsibility to select and use appropriate accounting policies. A summary of the
significant accounting policies adopted by On Broadway, Inc. is included in Note 1 to the financial
statements. As described in Note 1 to the financial statements, during the year, the Organization
changed its method of accounting for credit losses by adopting FASB issued Accounting Standards
Update 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. No matters have come to our attention that
would require us, under professional standards, to inform you about (1) the methods used to account
for significant unusual transactions and (2) the effect of significant accounting policies in controversial
or emerging areas for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus.
Significant Accounting Estimates
Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management and are
based on management’s current judgments. Those judgments are normally based on knowledge and
experience about past and current events and assumptions about future events. Certain accounting
estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to the financial statements and
because of the possibility that future events affecting them may differ markedly from management’s
current judgments. Certain accounting estimates exist that were not identified as a significant risk.
The most sensitive estimate affecting the financial statements was:
The allocation of expenses is based on estimates of employee time spent on each function as
determined by employees.
We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop this estimate and determined that it is
reasonable in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.
Financial Statement Disclosures
Certain financial statement disclosures involve significant judgment and are particularly sensitive
because of their significance to financial statement users. The most sensitive disclosures affecting On
Broadway, Inc.’s financial statements relate to liquidity and availability, notes payable, leases,
commitments, and net assets.
Significant Unusual Transactions
For purposes of this communication, professional standards require us to communicate to you
significant unusual transactions identified during our audit. We have not identified any significant
unusual transactions during the audit
-3-
Significant Difficulties Encountered during the Audit
We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management relating to the performance of
the audit.
Uncorrected and Corrected Misstatements
For purposes of this communication, professional standards require us to accumulate all known and
likely misstatements identified during the audit, other than those that we believe are trivial, and
communicate them to the appropriate level of management. Further, professional standards require us
to also communicate the effect of uncorrected misstatements related to prior periods on the relevant
classes of transactions, account balances or disclosures, and the financial statements as a whole.
Management has corrected all identified misstatements. Uncorrected misstatements or matters
underlying those uncorrected misstatements could potentially cause future-period financial statements
to be materially misstated, even though the uncorrected misstatements are immaterial to the financial
statements currently under audit. Management has corrected all identified misstatements.
In addition, professional standards require us to communicate to you all material, corrected
misstatements that were brought to the attention of management as a result of our audit procedures.
The material misstatements (and other adjustments) that we identified as a result of our audit
procedures were brought to the attention of, and corrected by, management and are listed in
Appendix A.
Disagreements with Management
For purposes of this letter, professional standards define a disagreement with management as a
matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, concerning a financial accounting, reporting, or
auditing matter, which could be significant to On Broadway, Inc.’s financial statements or the auditor’s
report. No such disagreements arose during the course of the audit.
Representations Requested from Management
We have requested certain written representations from management, which are included in the
attached letter dated December 19, 2024.
Management’s Consultations with Other Accountants
In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and
accounting matters. Management informed us that, and to our knowledge, there were no consultations
with other accountants regarding auditing and accounting matters.
Other Significant Matters, Findings or Issues
In the normal course of our professional association with On Broadway, Inc., we generally discuss a
variety of matters, including the application of accounting principles and auditing standards, operating
conditions affecting the entity, and operating plans and strategies that may affect the risks of material
misstatement. None of the matters discussed resulted in a condition to our retention as On Broadway,
Inc.’s auditors.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT ON COMMUNICATION
OF SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCIES AND MATERIAL WEAKNESSES
To the Board of Directors and Management
On Broadway, Inc.
Green Bay, Wisconsin
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of On Broadway, Inc. (the
“Organization”) as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States of America, we considered On Broadway, Inc.’s internal control
over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing our auditing procedures for the
purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Organization’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Organization’s internal control.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the preceding paragraph
and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be significant deficiencies
or material weaknesses and therefore, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that
were not identified. However, as discussed below, we identified certain deficiencies in internal control
that we consider to be material weaknesses and other deficiencies that we consider to be significant
deficiencies.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow
management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or
detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a
combination of deficiencies in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material
misstatement of the Organization’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and
corrected, on a timely basis. A reasonable possibility exists when the likelihood of an event occurring is
either reasonably possible or probable as defined as follows:
Reasonably possible. The chance of the future event or events occurring is more than remote
but less than likely.
Probable. The future event or events are likely to occur.
We consider the following deficiencies in On Broadway, Inc.’s internal control to be material
weaknesses:
Material Audit Adjustments
During our audit, we noted several audit adjustments, some of which were material that needed to be
recorded in order for the financial statements to be in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. We recommend the Organization develop a process to ensure transactions are being
properly recorded throughout the year. We recommend reviewing the current year audit adjustments
and attempt to adjust accounts to actual next year end. This will ensure the board is reviewing the most
accurate and complete financial statements on a monthly basis.
-6-
Grant Documentation and Tracking
During our audit, we requested all grant agreements and supporting schedules and documentation for
expenses submitted under each grant that the Organization received during the year. For the DBA
grant, we noted the Organization was not able to provide a detailed report of all expenses submitted for
reimbursement under the grant in 2023. Management indicated they would request funding in advance
for cash flow purposes and everything would be reconciled at the end of the grant year. However, with
the grant being over multiple fiscal years, the Organization needs to track expenses used with the DBA
grant funds. The spreadsheet provided by management as detail for the grant included expenses that
were claimed under other grants. There was a material audit adjustment to record the refundable
advance for excess funds received and not spent. We also noted, the Organization is not tracking grant
expenses by grant in QuickBooks classes. All expenses under each grant should be tracked in
separate QuickBooks classes. If expenses are denied by the grantor or change after the original entry
in the accounting software, the expense class should be updated to reflect those changes. We
recommend management review the procedures for tracking grant revenue and related expenses to
ensure tracking is accurate and the necessary detail is retained to support all grant revenue.
A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less
severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with
governance. We consider the following deficiencies in On Broadway, Inc.’s internal control to be
significant deficiencies:
Preparation of Financial Statements
Adequate internal controls necessitate personnel (management or others) of your Organization have
adequate training and knowledge that would enable you to prepare financial statements (and footnotes)
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The training and knowledge of
your personnel limits your ability to prepare GAAP basis financial statements. This weakness could
result in the possibility of undetected errors or irregularities. Without additional training of personnel
adequate internal control is not possible.
Segregation of Duties
The size of the Organization’s administrative staff limits the amount of duties which can be properly
segregated. We noted cash is received and deposited by the same individual, bank reconciliations are
prepared by someone who also handles cash, and invoice entry, check preparation, and check mailing
are done by the same individual. This lack of segregation of duties could result in the possibility of
undetected errors or irregularities. Without a larger staff, an ideal internal control system is not possible.
We need to make you aware of this deficiency or control weakness even though it may not be practical
to correct with the addition of more staff. We noted the Organization uses several other controls to help
compensate for this deficiency or control weakness, such as requiring a monthly review of bank
statements and bank reconciliations by the Treasurer and requiring checks be signed by someone
other than the accountant.
This communication is intended solely for the information and use of the Board of Directors and
management of On Broadway, Inc. and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other
than these specified parties.

MANAGEMENT ADVISORY COMMENTS
To the Board of Directors and Management
On Broadway, Inc.
Green Bay, Wisconsin
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of On Broadway, Inc. (the
“Organization”) for the year ended December 31, 2023, in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America, we considered the Organization’s internal control over
financial reporting as a basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our
opinion on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Organization’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Organization’s internal control.
However, during our audit we became aware of several matters that are opportunities for strengthening
internal controls and operating efficiency. A separate letter dated December 19, 2024 contains our
communication of significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the Organization’s internal
control. This letter does not affect our report dated December 19, 2024 on the financial statements of
On Broadway, Inc.
We will review the status of these comments during our next audit engagement. We have already
discussed these comments and suggestions with various Organization personnel, and we will be
pleased to discuss them in further detail at your convenience, to perform an additional study of these
matters, or to assist you in implementing the recommendations. Our comments are summarized as
follows:
Cost Allocation Policy
Under Accounting Standards Updated 2016-14, Not-for-Profit Entities (Topic 958) - Presentation of
Financial Statements of Not-for-Profit Entities, organizations are required to present a statement of
functional expenses to allocate costs between functional categories using an appropriate and
reasonable allocation methodology. The Organization does not have a cost allocation policy for
allocating expenses between its program and supporting activities. The functional expense allocation is
a necessary process in preparing the Organization’s financial statements. The current allocation is
based on management’s estimate of a percentage of costs attributable to each function. There is no
documentation supporting the percentages used in the allocation. We recommend the Organization
create a cost allocation policy and then allocate functional expenses according to the new policy. We
also recommend the Organization educate personnel on the definitions of the functional categories:
program, management and general, and fundraising and ensure a reasonable methodology is
implemented to allocate expenses by a functional category for those that will be allocated by a wage
analysis (ie. a time study).
-8-
Employee Handbook
Currently, the Organization does not have an employee handbook. An employee handbook should
include specific policies such as vacation and employee reimbursements. We recommend the
Organization document an employee handbook and provide it to all employees.
Gift Acceptance Policy
With the enhanced disclosure requirements under Accounting Standards Update 2020-07 (Topic 958) –
Presentation and Disclosures by Not-for-Profit Entities for Contributed Nonfinancial Assets, a
formalized gift acceptance policy has become increasingly important. This policy will establish
standards governing an organization’s fiduciary stewardship over contributions and gifts received. At a
minimum, the policy should include: 1) who has the authority to accept gifts, 2) the types of gifts that will
(or won’t) be accepted, 3) how non-cash gifts will be valued, 4) how various types of gifts will be utilized
in the organization and 5) the protocol for gift receipts to donors. We recommend the Organization
create a policy to define your current gift acceptance procedures.
Old Fort Square Expenses
During our review of expenses, we noted the Organization is recording all expenses related to the Old
Fort Square building in one expense account, rather than in natural expense accounts within a class.
This causes the need for the expenses to be allocated to natural categories at the end of the year. We
recommend the Organization record expenses in natural expense accounts under the Old Fort Square
QuickBooks class.
Following the Capitalization Policy as Established
During our review of fixed assets, the Organization elected to capitalize a group of similar asset items
as one asset. Individual costs of the items were under capitalization policy. However, the Organization’s
capitalization policy does not include capitalizing groups of similar items. Per discussion with
management, the items would not be as useful as individual items. We recommend the Organization
update the capitalization policy to be consistent with actual practices.
Timely Depositing of Receipts
During our audit, we noted that the Organization utilizes the undeposited funds account within their
accounting system to record receipts prior to depositing the funds to their bank account. It was noted
that there were multiple instances where the receipts were not being deposited to the bank account for
a significant time period after the receipt was received. We recommend that the Organization review
their processes and procedures over this account in order to ensure the timely deposit of receipts to
their bank account.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of management, Board of Directors and others
within the Organization and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these
specified parties.
