[NSRCA-discussion] NSRCA contrubution to nationals

[Gray E Fowler]

Buddy your are right!

I thought I saw Dave Brown on a cruise ship heading to Drambuie, not 
shooting skeet off the stern, but flying an electric pattern foamy. I 
thought nothing of it until he bought a drink with an AMA Amex card.

Eric
A very good analysis of what happens. It appears that you have finally 
outlined the problem which makes it impossible to assure that the cost of 
the Nat's is what it is.
 
I was in business for forty years and thoroughly understand the situation. 

In the several cases where this type of accounting was discovered in my 
company, most ended up as being self serving to those involved. 
 
In one case I discovered that members of my accounting staff and their 
friends and familles had taken a Caribbean cruse and billed it as a 
business meeting and charged the cost to an unrelated on going project 
that resulted in project cost over runs.
In this case they got greedy and got caught when these over runs were 
audited. This was a typical case of the lack of adequate accounting 
practices with checks and balances that serves to keep the fox out of the 
hen house.
 
I am not suggesting that this is the case with AMA accounting, only 
pointing out the need for adequate rules of accounting and checks and 
balances that will provide the information that the membership requires 
and deserves.
 
Thanks for providing the information that provides the NSRCA portion of 
the facts of the situation. 
 
Buddy
