- NO AUDIT IN 13+ YEARS

- SAME TREASURER FOR 13+ YEARS

- SAME ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR OVER 13 YEARS

"Anyone with a business or ACCOUNTING background should realize that a change in management (election) should require PROOF via an audit that the internal controls are in place before new management takes over.

The DPCA is a non profit business that has almost a half million dollars in assets. Ryan, Greer and Company in their May 31, 2013 , ACCOUNTANT"S REVIEW REPORT does not qualify as an audit. When will this audit be done?

A 501c3 with this amount of money should have an external audit every year and in fact the auditing company should be changed every 3-4 years. This should done for the protection and safety of the Treasurer and the accounting firm.

In fact, it might be good to have an auditing committee. I know we have had a Finance Committee headed by Robin Kelley, but why hasn't an audit been done for the past 13 years ??? No one is pointing fingers, but it is the responsible thing to do. You must agree that no one has anything to fear from an audit if they have nothing to hide. It would be a start towards the transparency that both you and the rest of the Board should want and the membership deserves."

Thanks for your concern,
