The local union collected $44,826.00 in employer check-off for monthly dues, work permit fees, and new member initiation fees.

In the case of receipts, the date, amount, purpose, and source of all money received by the union must be recorded in as least one union record. An exception may be made only in those cases where 1) other equally descriptive documentation has been maintained, and 2) there is evidence of actual oversight and control over disbursements. In most instances, this documentation requirement can be satisfied with a sufficiently descriptive a note can be written on it providing the additional information. This includes, in the case of disbursements, not only the retention of original bills, invoices, receipts, and vouchers, but also adequate additional documentation, if necessary, showing the nature of the union business requiring the disbursement, the goods or services received, and the identity of the recipient(s) of the goods or services. As a general rule, all records used or received in the course of union business must be retained. Section 206 requires, among other things, that adequate records be maintained for at least five years by which each receipt and disbursement of funds, as well as all account balances, can be verified, explained, and clarified. Title II of the LMRDA establishes certain reporting and recordkeeping requirements. The CAP disclosed both record keeping violations and reporting violations. The matters listed below are not an exhaustive list of all possible problem areas since the audit conducted was limited in scope. As discussed during the exit interview with you and Chief Steward Kenneth Borden on April 13, 2007, the following problems were disclosed during the CAP. This office has recently completed an audit of Office and Professional Employees Local Union 1295 under the Compliance Audit Program (CAP) to determine your organization's compliance with the provisions of the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act of 1959 (LMRDA).
