Subject: Re: CALS Finance Review - E-Vote

Attention : courriel externe | external email

Good Day Everyone,

In order to move forward the process for our financial reconciliation, I’m asking for an e-vote to approve our financial statements from Clarke, Starke and Diegel.  Attached to this email you will find the reports from the review conducted by Clarke, Starke and Diegel.  Please note, this information is for the board and not for distribution to the general membership.  Please also note that Clarke, Starke and Diegel found that the are no anomalies in our finances. This is stated in their Conclusions on page 1 of each report. 

The reasons for the delays in this review are a few. First, there was a lack of communication between myself and Clarke, Starke and Diegel  that resulted in a long delay of exchange of information. Once we re-established communication, it was a learning process to understand and then gather the information needed for the review. The 2024 review was also interesting because there were many questions about the monies that came through our accounts related to CCLR. And then finally, just my own challenges in balancing this work with all the other challenges of our jobs.  My apologies for this.  On a positive note, we now know the information needed for future reviews and this information will be passed onto the next treasurer to ensure a smoother process. 

There are 2 motions I’d like to put forward. 

Motion 1:  To approve the Review Engagement Report prepared by Clarke Starke and Diegel for the 2024 financial year. 

Motion 2: To approve the Review Engagement Report prepared by Clarke, Starke and Diegel for the 2025 financial year. 

Please reply all with “approved” beside each motion. 

Thank you, 

Dan
