Letter to the Sports Editor…AAG books needs a proper audit

May 19, 2012 Sports

 

Dear Editor,
In a letter to the sports editor, under the caption, “AAG President Respond to Pemberton” dated Tuesday May 08, 2012 in Kaieteur News, in rambling to set the records straight, as regards to the AAG financial affairs, the association president failed to mask the reality of the association’s financial position.
It is unethical for the athletics association of Guyana to audit its books. The athletics boss must take full responsibility for the undeveloped state of the sport in Guyana. It is true that the association has been submitting financial statements at annual general meetings to affiliates, according to Boyce.
Mr. Boyce gives the impression that the 2011 financial statements of the association were not presented at the AGM, because of the passing of Mr. Franz Welch (Treasurer), in response to (T. Pemberton).  To the best of my knowledge, being a financial member on behalf of Bedford All Stars Sport Club, Mr. Welch (deceased) has always presented the statements/report at AGM, as treasurer / auditor, unverified.  It would be a challenge for the Athletics Association of Guyana to prove its accountability and transparency, beginning with its officers.
The books and financial records of the athletics association of Guyana needs for independent forensic audit, probably the athletics association of Guyana should ask Mr. Ram for assistance.
Dead man tells no tales.
Wayne Walcott.
