This article is sketchy an pointles… yes, in these difficult economic times, $55K is alot to spend in less than two years. But how much was the cost of the candy? $125 ? How many trips, and to where? Was this for one trip to the Bahamas, or 50 trips to Trenton? Did he stay at the Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City, or the Super 8?
Without the perspective of more detail, few conclusions can (or should) be drawn.
Did he reimburse for the laptop and airline tickets before or after the audit? Does he not have his own credit card to make personal purchases? Sorry article to say the least.
I don’t think $55K is a lot to spend for this particular organization or its “seminars” or whatever type of meetings were taking place. I think this article is chicken little stuff; NJCRIB does a good job managing its market. I know many people on the staff and don’t know a stinker among them; all very knowledgelable and competent people. It’s just a sign of the times that expenses are being looked askance. And as you already said, what’s the point?
$55k seems total reasonable to me. A CEO of a company has a lot of expenses considering all of the various dinners he needs to attend (and pay for), meetings he has to attend (and pay for), etc. Unless there is more than the figure of $55k, this means nothing.
