A 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.” #mstdnca #yeg #canada https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/former-treasurer-edmonton-inglewood-community-league-allegation-theft-9.7150287

@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.

@erin can you please explain your personal stake in this? your post was included the yeg hashtag. you don't appear to be an edmontonian, and don't seem to have any involvement with the inglewood community. from the outside, you sure look like someone that's trying to stir up lynch mobs for clicks

@erin Fascinating and confusing. This raises more questions than answers for me… like: why did the software misbehave?

@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.

@erin The CL's position is not very strong. Seems they have not done much work in house to show any certainty of their claims likely due to poor processes and communication.

@erin running nearly $300K through a credit card? if that's true it's crazy. Whatever the case a lot more info is needed to make this all make sense.
