>Rhea and Ivy do not audit the GSDCA. They compile a balance sheet from materials sent >them by the Treasurer. The information above comes from a sitting board member. I believe that we should either: (1) engage an accounting firm to do a full blown audit of the GSDCA annually or (2) appoint an audit committee composed of the general membership (no board members) who have a backround in accounting/auditing and are willing to serve as the audit committee and perform their own audit of the GSDCA financial activity. For the record, I'm not questioning anyone's handling of the GSDCA's money - this is just good business and provides protection for the board members who handle the GSDCA's finances.
