erinA little bit more information in today’s article…
“In court documents, Chad Ohman said accounting software glitches created duplicate expenses and missing data, and all reimbursements were rightfully owed.”
Paul Turnbull 🇨🇦@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.
Bowreality 🇨🇦🍁@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.

AnnieBuddyThere was a program run by the CRA at one point that taught board members' responsibilities for NFPs. I recommend that people ask to see bylaws and financial statements/procedures before joining any board. Ask questions. Ask about the history and power dynamics/personalities.
This sounds like a fiasco all the way around and I would not accept a role with a not for profit that was this badly managed, specifically because it would leave you open to exactly this.

And, if the Board doesn't have insurance to protect them from being sued ... they are liable. Alberta government offers online & in person non-profit Board training
