Oh I realize embezzlement is uncommon. It's more of an issue with the "admin" costs.
I'm as much of a capitalist pig as the next guy, but I don't appreciate charities with 50% admin costs.
Not to say I'm anti-charity. Quite the opposite. Just be careful who you give money to.
Isn't her BIL head football coach at Grandview?
I understand your sentiment but I have performed financial statement audits for numerous charitable organizations and most are run appropriately and don't have stuff like this happening.
I feel a bit sorry for the companies that try to sneak something past you during an audit. I suspect that you aren't gentle with your opinion letters in those situations!
Unfortunately or Fortunately the opinion letters are pretty much a standard template and you just fill in any issues that were found.
The difficult part is it's a charity for kids, she kind of knows what it's like, and her husband makes great money and probably has great insurance.This is going to sound more like defending her than I want to, but that family has an extremely ill child. Sometimes people in that situation develop a lot of mental problems. Add to that, a husband whose career is dependent on college kids winning basketball games and a person can see why someone might lose it. And 40,000 is a lot of money, but not a huge amount as far as fraud cases go.
5 years probation? What a joke.
IMO fines and restitution are better served here. She's not violent and no previous convictions so no reason to spend taxpayer money to house her.5 years probation? What a joke.

No screen though. Knock her off by plunking her in the forehead with a heater.Put her in a dunk tank outside in January, with some liquid salt brine filling the tank. Let all the make-a-wish kids, their families, friends, and local little league teams take turns knocking off her perch until their arms are sore.

The CEO and general administration salaries in non profits is crazy. They do very little proportionally to what they take in on a nationwide scale, Support local charities whenever possible.Things like this are fairly uncommon. What I am more concerned about is organizations that spend most of their budgets on "administration" versus mission fulfillment. A great example of this is USSSA for youth sports. Freaking scam of scams.

This is somewhat of an overly broad brush because there are MANY good non-profits but it is rife with shady "stuff".The CEO and general administration salaries in non profits is crazy.

I disagree. What you linked is leaders of National not for profits, meaning they oversee the entire countries system for that charity. That's a lot of responsibility and you aren't going to find someone on the cheap to run something like that. In fact I argue that a lot of those salaries are to low.
