The audit is not complete, and too soon to know either way if there was a problem in her handling finances for the Foundation. I am concerned, having donated in the past, and for the sake of the ongoing fundraiser. Don't want to assume the worse, but it is disturbing that she handled finances. It's critical to do a background check on someone in that position. Now that the Foundation is hiring new staff, this needs to be done.
I know that fraud has happened at other non-profits, and it's disturbing when they do. http://archives.cnn.com/2000/US/06/10/cancer.funds/index.html
Really hope that's not the case here, but the audit needs to look at all this carefully to provide us with some assurance or at least the facts. The Foundation has responsibilities to the donors.
