The 2000-2001 Vice President: Finance and Administration was let go for violations of various policies of the corporation. However, the full damage did not come to light until after his dismissal. This damage includes stale-dated cheques, unremitted payments, and incorrect/missing entries into the general ledger. To determine the damage, and to help to repair the department, the accounting firm of Collins Barrow was called in by the Board to perform an audit and provide general professional assistance. At this time, it appears as though there was no fraud or theft, and the Board does not anticipate such potentialities. The Board has given Collins Barrow full access to all financialrecords, and they assure us that our proactive initiative has minimized damage. The results of the audit will be made available to all members of the corporation when it has been completed. The Board is instituting new policies to ensure that such a lapse never occurs again. In the interim, the department is being headed by newly selected 2001-2002 Vice President: Finance and Administration, Edward Schall. Any further questions regarding this matter should be directed to either the President, Christian Pearce (at extension 3565), or the Chair of the Board, Robert Borek (at 465-3133). , /? / / - / 1 .. ; : 112 Robert Borek Christian Pearce Chair of the Board President rjt 1 SeC°ndary ffißiI Gannon University jjjgf/ Ari HH Teacher's College this fall?
