    • What This Office Does...

      The Diocese of Cheyenne Finance Office exists to ensure that sound financial management and control practices are in place and consistently followed in the handling of the Diocese of Cheyenne’s assets. This office coordinates and manages the temporal goods of the diocese and associated functions, under the authority of the Diocesan Bishop, in accordance with the universal Code of Canon Law, the norms of the Diocese of Cheyenne, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, the intentions of the founder or donor, and the fiscal budget as approved by the Diocesan Bishop and Diocesan Finance Council (DFC).

      The Finance Office reports monthly financials to staff and, at least, quarterly financials to the Diocesan Bishop and the DFC. It assists the DFC in its work and develops the annual fiscal budget of the diocese with the assistance of the other directors of the diocese. This office acts as a liaison with legal, audit, investment, personnel, and insurance advisors, and consultants on issues pertaining to financial and administrative matters. It receives and distributes grant receipts and restricted collections to the appropriate entity, while ensuring compliance with the grantor, donor, or collection reporting and restriction requirements.

      Dan brings, from both small and large corporations, a combined 30 years of extensive, all-encompassing and varied financial, accounting, administrative and operational management, experience.
