Most of the effort for last month has been put into pre-paring information for the AGM and review of auditing procedures and bides for doing the 2001 records. We have picked an auditor Curnow & Co PS “Public Services”, Certified Public Accountant, Certified Fraud Examiner, and Certified Valuation Examiner. Our decisions was based on quoted price Approximately $5000.00 for the auditor. The cost of the General Manager’s time will have to be determined. The other determining factor was the willingness of the auditor to provide their findings by the 2003 AGM. There is some qualification with this, since to complete the report it will be necessary for them to contact Banks and Financial Institutions to verify stated activities in our bookkeeping system, such as accounts receivable and accounts payable, deposits, transfers of funds and balances in all accounts. These institutions must in turn return their reports to the auditor. The return of this documentation is related to the response time of the institutions involved so there is a possibility of delay unrelated to the auditors’ actions. We will do all in our power to move this process forward as fast as possible. 
My other activities this month have been related to compiling an accurate picture of the ideas put forth in the report #1 presented by Victor Armfield, Louise Weber and Scott Wills of the 2002 Financial Oversight Committee. Since there was no documentation presented with this report to support the statements presented it is a long an involved process. 
Beyond this we are still reviewing new employee insurance packages and the possibility of hiring a verbatim reporter for the AGM meeting in April. This is costly but the benefit to the membership would be a completely accurate record of the proceedings. It would also allow Jackie Granger to act in her position of parliamentarian in a more effective and timely manner.
