+1 to what Oscar said.
If the Board, which has the ultimate authority, has failed to get the Treasurer to submit
all the required financial documents, what makes you think that the Audit Committee will?
I am tired of having ineffective discussions with people who don't want to cooperate.

PS -- For the record, I never volunteered to be part of the Audit Committee.

Subject: Re: [Wikimedia Kenya] URGENT: Appointment of an Interim Audit Committee
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.
