Awkward Treasurer - what to do next?

[Mimase]

Hi

Please can someone suggest something/anything?

We are having major problems with our (ex) Treasurer. Since starting in April she's only been to one committee meeting and has done no monthly reports. A few weeks ago I became concerned about the finances and had a meeting with the Chair and the Treasurer to go over the figures (that I'd worked out and didn't look good) and she was asked to get some information together so we could discuss proposals at the next committee meeting. We heard nothing and she didn't come to the meeting.

So it was decided to ask her to step down (something that I think should have happened months ago). The Chair then spent over a week trying to contact her but no success.
I managed to get a message to her through a third person and she phoned me. She assured me she would send the electronic stuff straight away and bring the physical stuff round the next day.
2 days later nothing.

I've spent today again trying to contact her (phone, mobile, email).

What do we do next? Is there legal recourse to get the stuff back? If not, it's going to cause a real headache for the person taking over.

TReasurer of?

Sorry, I was in a rush.

Preschool committee.

Surely its a doorstep job after her kids have gone to bed. Turn up at the house, wait on doorstep if necessary until she passes the bits over and download anything onto a memory stick. Go with a list of requirements and tick them off as they are handed over there and then, and you can ignore the boring excuses. Be assertive and polite - the items are nothing to do with her once she has been fired as Treasurer with due notice.

This is ringing warning bells for me. What's she hiding? Where are the bank statements? Whose overseeing her work? Does she do the banking? Is she handling cash? As a treasurer who uncovered a massive swindle by the previous one, I'm very sensitive to this sort of behaviour.

Agree with catinthehat2, you and the Chair need to go round personally ASAP.
