Hi,
I need some advice please.
I am treasurer for a local kids’ group. I’ve recently discovered the chair has been borrowing money for personal reasons from petty cash. I only discovered this because funds were light and I asked whether some expenses hadn’t made their way to me. Turns out there have been at least 3 occasions this has happened. Money has been repaid but I feel compromised and betrayed (personally and on behalf of the group). It has always been operated on trust.
No acknowledgement, apology, recognition it was wrong. Instead chair is acting as if i’m In the wrong for calling it out. It’s as if he doesn’t see the problem and he’s made comments about the group is very friendly and doesn’t need regimented processes (i’ve Since tightened up all accounting processes). I haven’t gone public on them - just tried to manage it few committee members.
Would you feel the same as me? To me, the initial borrowing, and subsequent attitude, is just so wrong. I can’t believe I misjudged someone so badly.
Really interested to hear others’ views. Thanks in advance
