Fellow Laurier Students and Administration:
As per the financial deficiencies incurred by the former Vice President: Finance of Wilfrid Laurier University Student Publications (Dharmesh Makwana), the WLUSP Board of Directors is releasing this statement to the general population of Laurier. This is a brief overview detailing the WLUSP
deficiency for the 2000 - 2001 fiscal year. The items that will be highlighted in this overview are decrease in revenue, the additional expenses incurred, and most importantly the internal controls being developed to prevent this situation from happening in the future.
A major area of revenue deficiency pertains to the Keystone. The actual production of the yearbook itself was executed exactly as planned. Financial problems stemmed from the former VP Finance's negligent management of this project. The Keystone's national advertising revenue was lower than it should have been because several ads that were supposed to appear in the Keystone did not. WLUSP did receive the money from our advertisers, yet since certain ads did not run, we could not account for those particular ads as revenue in the fiscal year. The ads amounted to $ 6,440.00, net total of tax, and they are expected to run instead in this year's Phone Cord (upcoming publication consisting of student and staff phone numbers). It was the responsibility of the former VP: Finance to make sure that all the advertising was being sent to our Keystone publishers. Had this been done on a consis- tent basis, such a problem would have been identified and rectified. Therefore the revenue from the missed Keystone ads will be included this year to make up for the lack of inclusion last year.
Furthermore, a number of cheques became stale-dated last year. The majority of these cheques were for Keystone yearbook sales. All the stale- dated cheques were mailed back with an explanation of the situation. Of these cheques, 149 were not returned, which means that WLUSP lost an addi- tional $4,456.07 of revenue. $10,896.07 should therefore have been accounted for as Keystone revenue. Another important fact to note is that the Keystone team and the rest of WLUSP's focus was detracted from selling the Keystone in April 2001 and concentrated on recovering money from the stale-dated cheques. The Keystone therefore did not sell nearly as many books as possible, contributing to the financial damage already done.
There were additional overhead costs that were incurred by WLUSP for the year 2000-2001, as a result of the negligence of Makwana. Upon his termination, WLUSP enlisted consultation from Collins Barrow CA's (based on recommendation of the WLUSP Board of Directors, 2000-2001) to help resolve the financial situation. Collins Barrow assisted on matters such as various Government filings, bank reconciliation, reviewing interim financial statements, and suggesting internal controls. As well, Collins Barrow held consultative meetings with Board members and officers of the organization, offering recommendations and informing the 8.0.D. of the situation. Collins Barrow charged WLUSP a bill of $2,500 for their respective services.
Yet another expense incurred was an increase of our bad debt expense. A substantial portion of WLUSP sales invoicing was done months later than it was supposed to have been done. Since clients were invoiced late, it was reasonable to expect that WLUSP may not collect on all outstanding receivables. Therefore, WLSUP had to increase the bad debt expense by $ 2,000.
In addition, required monthly filings and bill payments were not performed on a timely basis. As a result WLUSP incurred higher than expected interest and penalty expenses. These expenses totaled $1066.46, all of which was avoidable if V.P: Finance duties were performed as expected.
In lieu of the situation last year, WLUSP is in the stages of developing a comprehensive internal auditing system that the finance department must henceforth undergo on a regular basis. This auditing system will mimic the same procedures that Collins Barrow CA's perform for our fiscal year-end audit, but on a lesser and more frequent basis. Our current VP: Finance has minimal input in the development of this monitoring system, in an attempt to make it as objective as possible. The individuals on the finance committee (appointed by the Board of Directors) have a sufficient amount of knowl- edge in accounting to direct such a procedure.
This year's budget was prepared in a fiscally conservative manner in anticipation of any "surprises" that may have resulted from last year's situa- tion. Most revenue figures were reduced, and expenses were inflated. Like other business', WLUSP has felt the affects of a slowing Canadian economy and has suffered from a decrease in their national advertising revenue.
Lastly, an extremely important issue that needs to be addressed is the hiring policies and procedures in regards to the VP: Finance position. The restructuring of the hiring procedure that the VP: Finance applicants must go through will ensure that the applicant has an adequate knowledge of accounting and will be able to handle all the job requirements. The new hiring policy will include such changes as a challenging practical exam (i.e. bank reconciliation, cases studies etc.) in order to test the applicant's abilities, along with an interview. The adjustments to the hiring policies will be completed in late January 2002. Furthermore, a training manual will be developed so future VP's may reference job procedures that have been imple- mented. These significant changes are intended to help prevent such a situation from ever happening again.
Despite the setbacks WLUSP has suffered, we are optimistic about the organization's future. This year WLUSP will be adding two new publica- tions to it's line-up. The first is ClubLaurier.ca, an online interactive publication that is available, but currently under construction. The other is The BLUPRINT, a 'features' magazine that will first be published in the middle of the coming winter term 2002. WLUSP is the only fully functioning, recog- nized University publication organization of its kind. Furthermore, our relationship with both the administration and WLUSU has never been better. Despite setbacks due to unfortunate circumstances last year, WLUSP is progressing in an exciting manner, and we thank the students, faculty, administra- tion and WLUSU, for their continued support.
On behalf of the Board of Directors and all of WLSUP, thank you for your time, and we encourage you to contact any of the following people with questions, concerns or comments.
