So if the treasurer paid $10,000 and then received a refund of $10,000 do they still owe the $1,000 in levies?
It would be interesting to see exactly how the transaction was processed. Was it returned to the same account from which it came? Paid in cash? Or transferred to a third account?
If transferred to a third account it could be viewed as money laundering with the money initially coming from the treasurer’s account to a ‘clean’ business account (the OCs) and going to a third account where there needs to be ‘honest money‘.
If cash was involved at any stage then there are huge red flags and follow up is required.
Does the strata manger have the authority to withdraw that much (if any) money? If there is a requirement for a second approval was the treasurer the person who gave that second authority? If so there is a huge conflict of interest noting their initial payment of that amount
Finally, is this query related to another of your threads?
