Having an Audit Committee is a good idea, however my
question is, What are
its mandates? I mean like yes I want us to have one, but what happens when
they make recommendations incases of malpractice in the board? I say this
because technically all the members have been some sort of auditors and
have been checking and asking for answers from the board especially as
regards to vary many decisions, financials included. So please let us lay
out the mandate of the committee and there is nothing worse like
making recommendations that never get implemented like
most commissions and committees in Kenya.....my personal 2 cents
That Said, I know Abbas, Grace (who stepped down from the Chapter) and
Kosgei are the other volunteers, so I guess we have an audit Committee ready

Hi ,
matters of integrity ,n accountability are bound to rise ,in this kind
of organisation i personally thought the issue we just heard on the
mailing list would have been avoided if there was an audit unit as
suggested earlier .
i am available to volunteer on that capacity together with others.

Guys,
I hope you are good, I am writing this in great concern of what is
happening with the chapter and finances. We are a very young chapter
and we
need not be where we are at this point. When we
elected the board, we
agreed to have an audit committee that will be there to keep check on
the
board's decisions in all matters including
finances.
The fact that WMKE is ran by the board means we need an external organ
to
ensure accountability and responsibility.
I would hereby propose that we suggest/nominate 4 members who can handle
this until we have the next meeting to either confirm the members or
conduct a process to appoint these members. I would like to leave this
open
but also insist that it is really urgent as we
decide on the current
situation, its solution and action to be taken by the chapter regarding
the
matter. Please suggest names or volunteer and we
can all come up with a
final process to create membership of this committee.
