High Timber Times Update: Closed IMHS Criminal Investigation

Just a note to High Timber times if you are listening, and I hear alot of local publications are, I can't read this or any other story on your site. It takes me to a subscription page on each and every story they have. SC and others can read them so your site is pretty much worthless to me.

that is because they don't give it away for free. They post links to their stories, but you need to subscribe to read them. They gotta make money somehow.

Thanks SC, that was it. Must be a cookie problem.

I'm using Firefox and it does not. It shows this much

A current Intermountain Humane Society board member was one of five people who used the organization’s credit card to make personal purchases, according to a sheriff’s investigation of the theft of more than $21,000 from the organization.
In an investigation spurred by the animal shelter’s disclosure in December that a tenth of the organization’s annual budget had gone missing — including adoption fees and cash from the shelter’s thrift store — the High Timber Times has also learned:

As I have said from the beginning of this story, it was a known issue at the shelter that they were bringing in "book keeping help" that had no experience; instead of a CPA that would post things correctly according to accounting rules. Most likely the "missing" money is just posted in the wrong accounts or receipts were never entered, etc.
It was a shame that the BOD chose to take this to the media before they really knew the story and putting blame on the prior folks - that is just too convenient to wipe away the audit results. Hopefully, they have now put proper accounting processes in place to avoid this in future.

I am not referring to Deb Hayes (mentioned in article) as the "book keeping help" - she is a CPA and knows how to keep books. From what I understand, there were others that were brought in from time to time and I bet dollars to donuts, the errors occurred then.

It would be beneficial for EVERYONE to read the OFFICIAL PARKCO INVESTIGATIVE REPORT......you must set up an appt. at the
shelter to review the ENTIRE investigative report. It is EXTREMELY informative and quite concise on what did/did not transpire
thru this entire sad saga......I can NOT relate information from the report here or on PC because of a confidentiality agreement
that must be signed when you review the report.......the report is at IMHS for ALL to view. I would highly recommend taking the time to do so.......IF you are concerned about the missing money/individuals actions or INACTIONS.
