The office consists of a business manager, David Johnson, an
administrative assistant, Marlene Rosbach, an accountant, Madeline Bui, a
payroll/accounts payable clerk, Dorinda Kelly, an insurance
coordinator, Shannon Schrempp and secretary, Franceen
Miller.
The business office sends semi-annual statements that show
the payments it has received for the Assessments for Central Diocesan
Operations (ACDO), priests retirement and all of the National Conference of
Catholic Bishop’s collections. The business office issues each priest a W-2
form at the end of each year, relieving parishes of this responsibility.
Financial records are audited each year by a national
auditing firm and the audit report is furnished to the entire archdiocese by
publication in the Sooner Catholic newspaper.
The financial reports from the parishes are submitted
annually and after computation, the Assessments for Central Diocesan Operations
(ACDO) and Priests’ Retirement are submitted to each parish. The business
office is responsible for collecting both assessments.
The business office is responsible for the annual budgeting
of the central offices. It assists in the setting of the annual appeal goal by
forecasting anticipated income and expenses. The shortfall of income and expense is the Appeal goal. The
Archdiocesan Finance Council reviews budgets and its recommendations are a
great help to the archbishop as he approves each budget.
The business office has many other responsibilities - from
assisting parishes in obtaining loans, preparing deeds, mortgages, mortgage
releases, lease agreements, to contracts with hospitals and prisons for
chaplain services. The business office also administers the retirement and insurance
plan for employees of the archdiocese.
The web-based database used to manage volunteer and employee
applications, background checks and Safe Environment training records is
monitored and supported by the business office. Assistance is available to
schools and parishes that have questions concerning their database accounts.
Furthermore, assistance is available to schools and parishes with questions
regarding their database accounts and to applicants completing applications.
