I have read the links that you have provided and I find it totally
unacceptable that an organisation can not provide costs for sending 8
people on a junket to New York.
When I have operated businesses in the real world, I have been able to pull
up any financial information (expenses, revenue, etc) within a matter of
seconds and with a click of a mouse. It is astounding that WMUK is not able
to do the same thing.
That Richard Symonds is saying that it is not a good use of resources, and
basically putting it in the too hard basket, to supply the amount of donor
dollars which have been spent on this controversial junket is, to use a
great British colloquialism, total bollocks.
WMUK is an organisation which blows its own trumpet on how transparent it
has become in the last 2 years, so it seriously should not be too difficult
to do this in a timely fashion.

The conference was in Berlin, not New York.
