Anomalies at Cork charity: 'Serious issues' noted at service assisting crime victims

Sad to see this goes on in this day and age. No accounting for funds in providing a service like this

Well there you go. Full accountability

Sally Hanlon, the Director of Services of Support After Crime, told The Echo: “I am retired now so not in a position to comment,”

Another charity fiddling the books, up next water is confirmed wet

Oh that's so disappointing to see. I would have thought they did good work with victims of crime.

 

[MrFadedGlory]

Yes, I get that. But it’s shocking for one that government funds (and private) are not audited more often. Is there any follow up on findings like these? Does this Director just walk away without any accountability?

KMPG were auditing the FAI for years. It is amazing how little auditors find until they know there is a problem

Did you have any experience with them?

It seems from the article that there was misrepresentation of numbers of victims supported along with improper records on volunteers.

Only once. Well over a decade ago at this stage. The client felt they got a good service from them IIRC. I was in on a watching brief on the criminal side of the case, so as the victim of the crime wasn't my client I don't have a lot of detail but I think it was generally positive.

I embezzled 10 million quid from a company, but I no longer work for the company, so you can't touch me and I can't possibly comment.
Foolproof.

What happens in lots of cases (not necessarily this one) is that people believe they do a good job or provide a great service, and maybe it's largely true... they get pats on the back all over the place through out their career etc. And lots of people feel they are deserving of more in return for working so hard. Be that money or benefits or whatever. And many take the opportunity to do just that because they feel it's rightveven though it's morally wrong.
