Sad to hear about another case of money mismanagement from a booster club. It could be accounting errors, or straight out embezzling.
This happens more times than you think… It can be easily resolved with an annual informal audit by a committee of the group and REQUIRE two signatures on each check.
To do an informal audit, get ALL the records/receipts from the year, the checkbooks and bank statements. Sit down and cross check everything. You need three people, a couple calculators and some highlighters. It only takes a couple hours.
The peace of mind is HUGE! and looks great when writing for grants.
