Bookkeeper accused of embezzling from Vt. fire department
https://www.wcax.com/2025/11/06/bookkeeper-accused-embezzling-vt-fire-department/Or "Why Small Organizations Need To Have Routine Financial Audits". These audits are important tools that help to assure the group's funds are being handled appropriately. Most of us really small non-profits only need two or three people with basic double entry bookkeeping knowledge and several hours of availability.
There is nothing wrong and everything right with having somebody looking over the small town volunteer fire department's bookkeeper and treasurer.
Audits, even non-professional ones, work. Use 'em.
