NCBA releases responses to audit audit
The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association has released a 27-page response to the Cattlemen’s Beef Promotion and Research Board audit and independent accountant’s report critical of the way NCBA expenses are charged as beef checkoff activities. According to the report - the audit was performed to assist the Board in determining that the salary and wages, disbursements and other charges selected for testing are in compliance with the Beef Promotion and Research Act of 1985 and the Beef Promotion and Research Order and the contract between NCBA and the Beef Promotion Operating Committee.In the NCBA report - the organization’s leaders addressed each discrepancy. Here is a sampling. One of the problems cited was expenses for three employees to attend the NCBA Charity Golf Tournament. In submitting their expenses neither participant charged their expenses to the same account. The report also noted seven invoices totaling nearly 188-thousand dollars that were not paid timely. Payments ranged from two to twelve days late.
A question that came out of the audit was spouse and family travel. The NCBA response stated historically - an officer dinner with spouses at the annual industry meeting has not been an issue. Currently - CBB guidelines for contractors and NCBA policies do not prohibit spousal travel expenses - but we will meet with CBB to establish a guideline.
