Bennandale Christian Community for Action, homework help

THIS IS ONLY AN INTERPRETATION, FIVE SENTENCES AND A QUESTION IS ALL I NEED. TELL ME YOUR THOUGHTS

Bennandale Christian Community for Action (ACCA) is a non-profit organization designed to assist low-income families in the Northern Virginia area to meet their early child care needs. Founded in 1967 the organization works in alliance with 26, local churches. The organization provides a variety of other services including, family emergency assistance, Meals on Wheels, housing repair, scholarships, and food pantry (ACCA, 2016).

An organization strives on their employees to act ethically, involving those who work inside the organization to uphold professional ethics. Before BCCA became such a large organization, it worked mainly on the volunteer basis. The only paid employees were the teachers in the child development center. Th BCCA being a child development center that assists low-income families, an ethical issue or violation that I have identified that is related to finance, or budgeting would be if the enrollment paper were falsified to enhance chances of registration.

In the early 90’s the volunteers in the admission department were supposed to base acceptance off the entire household income, but mistakenly place one income resulting in many of the children being enrolled as though they are from a single parent household. With the volunteers falsifying records and allowing individuals to receiving childcare services that otherwise may not qualify, it disabled other low-income families from receiving those services. It also allotted those families to be able to receive other services that the BCCA provided such as Meals on Wheels, housing repair, scholarships, and food pantry. Not only was this a budgeting and financing issue but this was an immoral act that violated ASAP’s (2013) code of ethics: Bennandale Christian Community for Action (BCCA) is a non-profit organization designed to assist low-income families in the Northern Virginia area to meet their early child care needs.

Not only was this a budgeting and financing issue but this was an immoral act that violated ASAP’s (2013) code of ethics:

“Strengthen social equity. Treat all persons with fairness, justice, and equality and respect individual differences, rights, and freedoms. Promote affirmative action and other initiatives to reduce unfairness, injustice, and inequality in society.

a. Provide services to the public with impartiality and consistency tempered by recognition of differences. Ensure that all persons have access to programs and services to which they are entitled under the law and maintain equitable standards of quality for all who receive the programs and services” (ASPA, 2013).

In so, by not properly calculating the household income could have taking away serveries from citizens that may have been deemed qualified.
