We mentioned in the last Informer about an audit being performed on the treasury. This has caused some to ask why we are being audited. The TWU Constitution, Article 16, Section 4, requires an audit at least annually.
Further, anytime there is a change in officers, it is the policy of this union to have the books audited for the the protection of the memberships money.
New officers take responsibility of the treasury but only from the time they were elected so there has to be a clear line of where the old officers spending stopped and new officers begin.
The CPA involved in our Audit is Kurt Needles of Needles and Associates LLC who specifically deals with Labor Union treasuries and also reports to us all new regulations that come into effect each year on reporting and spending.
