I know I have seen audits by RHeas and Ivy. I do not know how often they = are done, but I know I have seen written reports on these audits presented at = the Nationals. They were not done yearly, and I do recall at one meeting many years back = before Bill took over as Treasurer, that it hadn't been done for several years. No matter how good a treasurer or bookkeeper is, it is still a good busine= ss practice to do audits. My statement had nothing to do with How Bill keeps the books - it was a ge= neralization of accounting practices. It is not misleading. Eventhough we are required to have a CPA as treasurer for the GSDCA, it is= still good accounting practices for another CPA to Independently Audit. SInce I do not have a copy of the Clubs Bylaws or Our Practices Manual han= dy, I could not say with certanty how often the GSDCA is required to have an independent audit= . If Bill or any other Board member misunderstood the intent of my post, I a= pologize.
