Tough day for Gary
from accounts. DFID audit of the Haiti funds started today. Gary had
only done the Ins accounts. Not started on the Outs |

DFID were more
interested in the Outs part of the bookkeeping. |

All in all the
response to the Inepd Haiti DFID Audit went better than expected.
Maybe can use expenses from Brian's Visa Card for some Outs |

@themabiblogion At the RBS we he had some close calls(too many
recorded Outs). A lack of Out accounts can stop a lot of unwanted
questions. |

@InepdKelvin It was lucky Gary from accounts concentrated on the Ins.
Brian's sister does though have some Outs from his Visa statements. |

unknowingly say to much. How could I have known!! |

@Phil_GE Not sure. The 4 DFID Auditors are very settled now & looking
at the last 8 years of Outs. Gary from accounts is a nervous wreck! |

Gary from Accounts
finally started working on the Haiti Earthquake response Outs. So far
we have 3,257,435.45 euros in Ins. |
4:40 PM |
10-Feb-10 |
|
|
|
InepdMercedes |
Gary has only been
able to find 1,589.76 euros in Outs receipts. However Gary found
fortunately 2,507,435.45 in our bank account. |
4:47 PM |
10-Feb-10 |
|
|
|
InepdMercedes |
That only leaves a
deficit of 748,410.24 euros in Outs receipts. DFID concerned, but glad
we're making heading way now on the Outs. |

According to Gary
from Accounts DFID is refusing to accept my hotel and meal Out
Receipts from the last two years. |

Our Outs receipts
shortfall now stands 6,890,041.76 euros for the last 5 years with
DFID. We are in real financial problems. |

For the Haiti

@Gotliepsen Not sure if there is anything that can be done. Our income
has fallen lately and now we will have to pay back large sums to DFID |
7:57 PM |

Gotliepsen |
@InepdKelvin Look
at your assets. Is there anything you can use for leverage to create
some income to tide you over. |
|
|
|
|
|
InepdKelvin |
@Gotliepsen Well we do have quite large future assets in bequests from
our Time Poor Donors Program that targets the elderly. |
8:02 PM |
13-Feb-10 |
|
|
|
Gotliepsen |
@InepdKelvin You
could use these future assets to leverage income for your current
programs and repay your institutional donor. |

@Gotliepsen Thanks for the advice. I will ask the finance chaps to
look into this financial model. Really exciting idea! |
