A routine year-end audit of an unnamed state convention partner revealed an error in giving receipts to the Southern Baptist Convention Executive Committee (EC) resulting in a change in 2018–2019 fiscal year totals for the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering (AAEO) and Lottie Moon Christmas Offering (LMCO).
The original report showed $823,222.01 in AAEO receipts and $156,748.05 in LMCO receipts in the April 2019 wire transmission but the figures had been inadvertently transposed. The corrected amounts are $156,748.05 for AAEO and $823,222.01 for LMCO.
The corrected amounts bring the 2018–2019 totals for AAEO to $61.4 million, still the highest giving total on record, and the totals for LMCO to $157.3 million.
The EC said it has worked with the North American Mission Board and the International Mission Board to correct the distributions it sent to the organizations as a result of the error. (BP)
