Past HAA actions - in the past
Deeper,
Perhaps we should let this line of discussion sit awhile. It is so painful to most of us, including yourself it seems, and all those involved. As the leader of the second last executive, I suffered much from a campaign of misinformation and false accusations.
Fortunately, a financial enquiry was instigated by a third party (government) and the previous executive (my mob) was cleared of any wrong doing. In fact, we were commended for our record keeping by having independent bookkeepers, accounts managed by a CPA accountant and audited by an independent (and expensive) registered auditor.
All our accounts were electronic with backups at various locations. Most of these things are required by the ATO (not-for-profit) and ASIC who have no senses of humour.
The new HAA executive cancelled most of these arrangements before the collaspe. But that was their call - they were in the chair.
It was not a pretty sight and it be best left in the past.
