Ohman says accounting software glitches created duplicate expenses and missing data. He claims all of the reimbursements he received were rightfully owed.

@erin I find it odd the community league does large expenses this way. When I was on a non-profit executive big purchases where done by PO and paid from the organization's bank account signed off by two executives.

I also find it odd that the community league has launched a lawsuit before conducting a forensic audit. I would think you'd want pretty conclusive evidence before making public claims like this.

Aside: the treasurer in the org I was in was a forensic auditor so things were tight.

@Chigaze @erin What’s a community league anyways? Also agree with the concern that he was paying from his own credit card and was reimbursed. They need to have a bank account and order system. It’s not that hard really.
Forensic audit would be smart before blaming him as well. I mean that not just peanuts and going public about it without being sure … ouch.

@Bowreality @erin I grew up in Edmonton so never realized that Community Leagues are kind of unique to here. They run local community halls as well skating rinks and such.

@Chigaze think most towns have something or the sorts, perhaps just named differently. Ours is called a “community association” similar mandate. @Bowreality
@erin @Chigaze Yeah we don’t call them “leagues” I guess
