MSC
Continued from page 1A
account reports
questionable cash counting
procedures
“The controls were clearly
insufficient,” Kibler said.
The MSC has assigned a task
force to study student organiza
tion finances since last year’s loss.
Catherine A. Smock, head
auditor of the A&M Internal
System, said there was no evi
dence that pointed to a particular
person’s involvement in the loss.
“Poor records make it difficult
to prove anything beyond a rea
sonable doubt,” she said. “This
was a system with no internal
controls. It’s something you
would not see in general in an
A&M department.”
Auditor Robin Woods said she
and fellow auditor Robert W.
Smith found no evidence that a
crime had occurred.
Woods said her respective
phone calls to Brazos County
District Attorney Bill Turner and
University Police Department Lt.
James Lindholm in June were
recaps of the audit report.
“We could not determine that
a crime had occurred,” she said.
“It’s not a criminal issue that there
weren't good records.”
However, Woods said she was
unable to address the boundaries
of legality surrounding financial
mismanagement.
“That would be a question for
the DA’s office or UPD," she said.
Smock said when the phone
calls were placed, the auditors
were pretty sure the law enforce
ment agencies would not take
the case.
“We wanted to have them con
cur with what we were thinking,”
she said.
Turner’s office released this
statement Wednesday: "We have
reviewed the auditor's report and
at this point agree that there was
insufficient record keeping to
track the loss to any source.
Absent a police report that
includes witness statements we
are unable to decide if criminal
activity is involved.”
Other student organizations
have also had financial problems.
When the financial records of
one student council turned up
short earlier this year, administra
tors discovered that an officer in
the student organization was falsi
fying signatures and taking the
money, Kibler said.
“At that point, it becomes a
criminal act, and we turn it over to
UPD,” he said.
Between Apri 1 16 and Apri 1 21
of this year, someone took $800
of about $1,300 from a briefcase
in the office of the Singing
Cadets, located in the MSC, said
UPD Maj. Josephine Hoelscher.
“The room was not locked.
Who took it, we don’t know.
Anyone could have broken in,”
she said.
At this point, there is nothing
more that can be done to finally
determine where the $48,000 to
$61,000 of missing Maroon Out
funds went, Kibler said.
“You can never go back and
prove something that is past histo
ry,” he said.
Smith agreed that in these
cases, there’s not a lot that can be
done once the paper trail is lost.
“In a lot of white-collar
crimes, people are never prose
cuted,” she said.
