New York's Cooperative and Condominium Community
Hello - seeking advice ASAP. It's been known for years that the previous President of the coop had personally maintained a petty cash account for keys, fobs, and misc. expenses; however, has been reluctant to transfer responsiblities and management of said account to our new management company, due to primarity her stubborn and bully-ish demeanor. The President was ousted at the last annual shareholder's meeting and to this day has yet to relinquish the account, only to give a certified check to the corporation for the supposed amount that was in the account. As the new President, I strongly suspect that the ex-president not only didn't close the supposed account but actually co-mingled any corporate funds into a personal account, since the certified check came from their name, personally.
Has anyone had a similar situation with a previous Board member in relinquishing corporate account information and if so how did you go about ensuring that all documentation, including financial informaiton, was transferred to the new Board. Thanks!
we don't use one. all expenditures are reimbursed via receipts/expenses submitted to management company. petty cash accounts are an invitation to steal for anyone who is unscrupulous.

Petty cash accounts are cash cows for boards - I have seen them charge personal items to coop's credit card and petty cash accounts.
