Trustees agree to hold payment to auditor while outstanding audit responses are verified
Summary
The board decided to postpone payment to an auditor after trustees said the promised audit (originally due in February) had not been delivered; the payment will be held for two weeks pending follow-up with the auditor and treasurer.
Trustees agreed to delay sending a check to an external auditor until they can verify outstanding deliverables. The board said the audit had been promised in February but had not been received by July; the treasurer and accounting staff have exchanged some emails with the auditor but trustees said responses were incomplete.
One trustee said holding the payment for two more weeks would allow staff to confirm whether the auditor had responded fully to requests and whether the work was complete. The board directed staff to investigate and report back at the next meeting so trustees could decide whether to release payment.
No final decision to terminate or replace the auditor was made; the action agreed was a temporary hold pending verification.
