Thank you CatFincher50, posting that saved me time, so, I'll add the HPPOA bylaw which we adopted based upon that statute (keep in mind much of our bylaws are directly taken from State Statutes and in particular, the financial related bylaws).
"Article VIII - Board Of Directors Section 8 Powers and Authority (s) Cause an independent certified public accountant, which may be an individual, firm, partnership, or corporation, to conduct a mandatory annual audit of the financial records of the Association. Copies of the audit shall be available to members upon request."
What part of that last sentence does the BOD have a problem understanding and I especially want to direct this question to the BOD president?
A partial answer to the dilemma that we have raised here of not getting the audit or financials may have recently surfaced in the Nov. 2015 BOD meeting minutes posted on the HPPOA web site (good luck in finding them though). On page 2 it seems that the audit is mentioned, albeit in a clumsy and amateurish fashion (no fault to the recorder), mentioning 2 big hits by the auditor. But, fear not, the treasurer makes sure she places the blame on others.
We should all be relieved and confident that the Board of Directors have everything under control.
So, allow me to restate and refresh previous comments made by Mermaid, Katarina and others that the treasurer has been doing the books and running the financials herself instead of performing her real duties that of being there as an oversight position as stated in the bylaws.
Of course, (here's sarcasm again Flyingburper) she has to keep running the books (pun intended) because she and the VP seem to keep firing every one who questions them, like the last bookkeeper. The new bookkeeper seems to be aware of this as her body language (as the other ladies in the office) projects fear.
