I'm friends with Eric, pretty funny guy if you ask me.
Well, I'm ignorant as to the creative accounting. But I think broad-brush condemnation of the Red Cross is misplaced. I know they have had quite a few controversies and instances of fraud and theft. But they have tens of thousands of employees and hundreds of thousands of volunteers, so manifestations of human greed and corruption will pop up from time to time. Overall, I believe they have done enormous good with their disaster relief in this country and elsewhere.
And in some cases,with the per diems, etc. -- more money goes to the volunteers than to those in need.

Question:
Is there a conflict between an attest, more likely than not fairly stated financial statements opinion, and auditor reclass entries, to more favorably represent that activity?
And if such a conflict exists, in aiding compliance with any tax exempt status requirements...is that conflict patently resolved in favor of the client? To not do so, is to lose the client to another firm that has no ethical problem in creatively reflecting transactions?(or is the auditor signing off on the client's creativity?...or both?)
Or are problem issues glossed over, not rising to the level of reportable significant divergent accounting practices, and therefore not includeable in the issued audited financial report?
These questions are somewhat hypothetical....depends on who's buying lunch...and rounds of golf, and club memberships and.....certified opinions....ah...the way of the world:wink:
ps:How typical is a lateral move by the senior auditor to the client charity controllership/senior staff?
Relevance to Fatboy....directly ...none....

In my neck of the woods we have a Hospice Group with about (5) thrift stores
scattered within a 30 mile radius. These folks have a large complex where
they care for dying cancer patients at very low or no cost. Most of their staff
at the stores are Volunteers. We donate exclusively to them and S.A.
Our local Animal Outreach (cat rescue) is mainly volunteers also.
They will receive an endowment when I pass from this life.

i love & respect & donate to Hospice - and EVERYthing they do.
but for those who are NOT volunteers (BECAUSE THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH VOLUNTEERS), they are paid $20-$25/hr. no benefits, cause they are contract labor.
Nice of you to defend the Red Cross..With their massive volunteer network, they have done some good at times.. But I can't believe ANYONE thinks 91% of their donations, actually get to the needy.. It is probably the most corrupt charity on earth. They recieve billions in donations, and volunteer services, with very little (if any) accountability... They are just like Vegas, in its prime mob days (and also the Vatican)...The ones at the top, get 'First Count' !
You need to dig a little deeper, rather than just google the figures that those entities provide to Wikipedia !

the Red Cross does some good.
ALL charities do MORE, than NOTHING.

<20% goes directly to aid, generally speaking.

I know that you weren't directing your post to me, but, as a matter of fact, I neither believe nor defend anyone. When I can't do the digging myself I use the data available and weigh it accordingly.
Actually the fraudulent numbers that I posted were those that were reported to the IRS. :wink:

I'll be right back. I gotta run to Home Depot for more duck tape. I'm fresh out and I sense Pinky is about to go into full AZ quack mode.
My brethren, I want brownnose points for the immense patience for making it past our 3rd date (which will be censored).
I've decided to start a non-profit for my therapy fund. Please donate to
www.KK9'sducktapefund@payapal.com. Many thanks (and I promise to spend 100%).

1. "They have done some good at times." understatement
2. "It is probably the most corrupt charity on earth." overstatement
3. "They are just like Vegas, in its prime mob days..." overstatement
4. I didn't post anything about the Red Cross from Wikipedia.
But do you mean to include the American Red Cross in your "generally speaking"?
