Financial Accountability

Brighton Center is committed to upholding the highest standards possible in all business practices. Our organizational and financial structure consistently meet rigorous standards for accreditation by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities, Council on Occupational Education (COE), the KY STARS for Kids NOW quality rating system, The Association for Early Learning Leader, and all 20 of the Better Business Bureau’s standards for charitable accountability, including governance and oversight, measuring effectiveness, finances, fundraising, and transparency (per our local BBB, only 13% of non-profits comply with all standards). Brighton Center is monitored by various funders, including United Way, and federal, state, and local agencies. Brighton Center has over 50 years of experience in operating grants from federal, state, and non-government funders. Each year, an external CPA firm audits the financial statement.
