--Dan WilderMPNAI Board Chair
This message was read to attendees at the MPNAI Annual Meeting on 2/21. MPNAI Chair, Todd Rasmussen was out of down due to a work commitment. Todd stepped down from his duties as MPNAI Chair due to changes in his employment.
Reading through the most recent audit for the Midtown Phillips Neighborhood Association, Inc a number of serious concerns are raised by the auditors. In e-mails conversations with the Board of Directors, they are quickly taking steps to address many of the issues raised and are working with the City of Minneapolis, an independent accountant, and the auditors to work on bringing the Association into compliance. The association isn't ready to make a formal statement but is working to have something prepared for their February Annual Meeting.
There was evidence that the accounting system failed to provide complete and accurate output consistent with the control objectives of reporting contractual obligations. The failure of the control objectives was attributable to misapplication of control activities, and management override of controls by those in authority to the detriment of the overall objectives of the system.
Because we were unable to satisfy ourselves concerning the amount of funds used in accordance with contractual obligations as explained in the preceding paragraph, the scope of our work was not sufficient to enable us to express, and we do not express, an opinion on the financial statements referred to in the first paragraph.
