{UAH} Response to Brian: UNAA Financial Report 5

Brian,

thanks for your quick response. However, I think the only relevant portion of Tim's communication is that you (the Executive) were going to meet on May 26th, 2014 to discuss "the continued unavailability of the completed UNAA Dallas 2013 financial reports, as requested by UNAA's membership".  Did you have that meeting on May 26th?  If you met, what did you decide about the date for releasing the financial report?  

Please keep in mind that, on April 20th, you told us that there is NO GOOD REASON why the financial report would not be released within 30 days...you added that the only reason you had not released them, was that you wanted to first finish the 2013 taxes. Now Jude tells us that the 2013 taxes are done.  

thanks

Subject: {UAH} UNAA Financial Report 5 (former treasurer finished 2013 taxes)

Hi Joseph,

Reread the communication from the UNAA Director of Communications dated May 25th to understand where we are in this process.

As always, thank you for the fifth gentle reminder and for keep the elected leadership accountable to its membership.

Below, I reproduce the relevant section from Mr. Gaburungyi's communication.

-----------------

1. The UNAA Executive remains highly focused on moving forward on matters that unite UNAA's membership and has actively resisted any attempts to get diverted from the members work. Indeed to resolve this latest matter all UNAA Executive members have been invited to a meeting on Sunday May 26^th at 6:00pm. The above matter and others below will be addressed.
    
    

1. The continued unavailability of the completed UNAA Dallas 2013 financial reports, as requested by UNAA's membership. Attempts by UNAA's Director of Finance (a qualified CPA) to prepare these financial reports have been repeatedly frustrated. At one point, the UNAA Treasurer, Mr. Jude Ssempungu deleted a series of transactions from UNAA's accounting record system Quick Books and deleted the account of the UNAA Director of Finance.
2. The filling of false Tax returns for the year 2012. These Tax returns were prepared and filed in November 2013 without the knowledge and authority of the UNAA Executive Committee. On December 5th 2013, the UNAA Treasurer, Mr. Jude Ssempungu presented an invoice of just over $3,800 for the services of the accountant who had prepared these false tax returns. The UNAA Executive demanded to receive a copy of the Tax returns and when the falsehoods contained therein were uncovered all payments were declined. NB. It is a federal crime for anyone to knowingly and willfully file an income tax return that they know to be false in some material way.
3. Despite numerous and repeated requests, the UNAA Treasurer is yet to grant the UNAA President and the UNAA General Secretary Access to the Wells Fargo UNAA Bank Accounts as required by UNAA's by-laws. This has hampered the exercise to correctly amend the UNAA taxes of 2012.
    
   UNAA's Executive will leave no stone unturned to guarantee full accountability and transparency in the secure handling of all UNAA's funds. The financial reports for UNAA Dallas 2013 will be prepared and presented in the most professional and informative manner. The preparation and presentation of other regular financial reports will not suffer any interruption either. What is more, all UNAA's monies are safe and will be continue to be fully accounted for and invested appropriately and ethically.
    
   Thank you and our focus is back to the great work of UNAA.

Brian,

This is a FIFTH gentle reminder that you have not yet released the details of the income/expenses for the Dallas convention. 

Jude Sempungu, the recently deposed Treasurer, mentioned in one of his emails that he had the 2013 taxes prepared for $800. If UNAA paid, that means the work was finished and done well. No one has come out to deny that. If the 2013 taxes have been finished, why don't you release the details of the income/expenses for the Dallas convention?  When should we expect to see them?

thanks

On April 20, Brian reassured UNAA members that he did not see any good reason why the Dallas convention financial report would not be released within 30 days (see email below). It is now more 30 days since Brian made that statement. 

Qn: when should we expect to see the details of the expenses/income for the Dallas convention?

thanks

Mr. Kalanzi,

There is no good reason we can have the Dallas report to members with 30 days from now.

The taxes will be filed within the next couple of weeks, probably sooner.
