As you say last, you don't need a committee for Flight Safety to work. But if you're spending money in the wrong areas your operation is bound to fail in some way due to that lack of funding.
In EASA-world (which is slightly emulated in MAOS) the Accountable Manager (or from 1st July, the AOA ODH) has to be able to place funds where they are most needed to keep their operation going SAFELY. If your "Fund Holder" is incapable of placing that money in the right place, he is not really the AM but a mere budget code holder. Your DDH should be able to help in making that decision too. Your Staish (DDH) and Base Maintenance OC should have publicly available AOA LoD by now, stating their Continued Airworthiness duties to them and to you.
As weak as this reads, I hope this helps to get your message to the right place.
The power of the MAA's incestuous "Duty Holder" network has yet to be challenged by anyone - but unfortunately it may take yet more fatalities to change attitudes to care about more than personal careers.
