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

@erin on why pay for things and get reimbursed instead of having org write cheque: if you need to cater an event and goto Costco ti buy sandwiches etc, even if they accepted cheques, you would need two signatories present at the cash register for the org to issue the cheque. Faster for one to use personal credit card and get reimbursed later. If accounting shows 2 cheques to pay back $237.95 expense, the bank statement would show whether one or two cheques were cashed.
@jfmezei @erin This definitely makes sense for that kind of expense but I don’t see how you get to $250k in expenses by one person on that scale of expenses. It sounds like they were doing all their expenses that way.

@Chigaze @jfmezei @erin None of this gives me any confidence in the future viability and financial systems or stability in place for #mstdn.ca

I think for me to return to mstdn.ca and donate it would need to be run as a non-profit organization which publishes accounts. It has the appearance of being the Canadian instance and @cira and other accounts add to that appearance of respectability
