Between the two panels of judges for the Eastern and the panel for the western I saw no AAA judges. How is a AAA supposed to get the monitored show for elevation to AAAA? Or is this just a starving trainers full employment act?

Congrats are in order for Phil for being the first rider to earn $8 million.  Does anyone know who else tops the list?  I know you can go to the NCHA earning site and look people up individually, but is there a list out there somewhere?  Perhaps the Chatter?  I am new at this game.

So, the next 64K dollar questions might be:  Is a new broom sweeping clean?  And if so, why? 

To actually clean things up or to give the appearance of cleaning things up?

Just some thoughts to ponder.

The comptroller of the small town of Dixon, IL (annual budget of approximately $9 million) is accused of wire fraud for the transfer of approximately $30 million from the town of Dixon, IL to her own accounts.  This was allegedly done to keep her very expensive lifestyle as a trainer/exhibitor in the AQHA funded.  The alleged misappropriation of money took place since at least 2006 to the best of everyone's knowledge.  An investigation is on-going.

The town of Dixon, IL had an audit performed annually by two regional accounting firms.  Neither firm turned up the alleged wrong-doing.  Rather, it was the comptroller's habit of taking up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave along with her 4 weeks of paid vacation that brought the alleged wrong-doing to light.  An employee, substituting for her, found evidence of an unknown bank account, unknown to others in the government of Dixon, IL.  This employee then asked for bank statements for ALL accounts from the banks involved and uncovered $30 million in missing funds. 

This is all alleged at this point.  I am not making any accusations just relaying public news.

So, the moral of the story is, audits may not going to turn up evidence of wrong-doing.  In fact many never turn up any when, in fact, there was wrong-doing. 

Audits are to verify through random checks of source documents that the entity being audited has followed GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) and FASB (financial accounting standards board) principles.  When evidence that GAAP and FASB are not being followed, then, sometimes, wrong-doing is exposed.  More often, it just points up the need for better policies and procedures.

Respectfully,
stlcutter
