How Is Gannon International Organized?

Gannon International is organized by the functions it provides to its various affiliated companies, with finance, accounting, human resources, insurance administration, cash management and legal administration administered by a corporate officer or supervisor, each of whom reports directly to the Chief Operating Officer of Gannon International.

Developmental goals and implementation strategies, as well as the budgetary process, are initiated by the appropriate officers and boards of directors of the affiliated entities comprising the three operational groups.

Oversight Monitoring of Operations: Each subsidiary or affiliated company works to a business plan and annual budgets, with actual operating results being compared no less than monthly against these projected performance levels. Adjustments to these management controls are addressed by the appropriate officers and boards of directors of the affiliated entities comprising the three operational groups.

Financial Controls: Each Gannon entity has a well established system of financial controls. These include cash management, credit analysis and the preparation and filing of tax returns and audits (as appropriate).

Administrative Services: Gannon International provides certain administrative services to the subsidiaries and affiliated entities, including the administration of human resources such as the 401(k) plan and other employee benefit plans, payroll, EEOC and OSHA compliance, vacation and sick leave policies, the administration of insurance and legal matters, pooled purchasing, and community relations.

Strategic Planning: Most significantly, however, the human resources of Gannon International are available to the management teams and boards of directors of the affiliated entities in connection with long term strategic planning and the collection and analysis of the many factors and variables that will impact these companies into the future, as well as assessing financing options for each such initiative.
