What is referenced above (two years) is incorrect, it was only a matter of months. From my understanding the previous treasurer had been instructed to withhold release of the records until the Insurance Attorneys for the lawsuit permitted their release. Any member can go on the GSDCA web page behind the members only section, and read the current treasurers report in the April minutes for the years 2008, 2009 and 2010, and in addition you can read the financial reports for those same years to get the FACTS, unless hearsay is your preferred method of getting information. You know the old saying: Don't believe anything you hear and only half of what you see. From my previous post: The Financial Review and Recommendations in the March Review of this year reported various issues that were problematic in the handling of our club's finances. I checked and on page 34 it states, and I quote: It should be noted that we did not receive all of the information requested, including any Audit Adjustments for the 2008-2010 period, and any information regarding Debit and/or Credit Card usage/reconciliation. I suppose this is the reason we have yet to receive an audit for the year 2011. And on page 41 under their recommendations they stated: In the 2010 Audit Letter to the Board (dated 7/25/2011) the accountant notes the lack of timely bank account reconciliation (monthly basis) by someone independent of the cash receipt/disbursement process as a significant weakness to internal controls. The accountant had to spend additional time to ensure the bank accounts were properly reconciled. And in bold typeface, they stated: Bank accounts should be reconciled monthly by someone other than the person administering the cash receipts/disbursements.
