'They're stealing from children': US youth soccer's embezzlement scourge
https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...-soccer-embezzlement-scandal?CMP=share_btn_fb
Not sure scourge is the right choice of words and some of this might be old news to some about the Rangers but the lack of over site, audits, and professional financial controls hasn't really been implemented across many youth sports organizations just yet.
"According to Pedneault, the forensic auditor, clubs should start by talking to board members about finances. Once that’s done, clubs can more successfully implement necessary checks and balances: two people signing checks, two people reviewing the books, two people involved in almost every area where money is collected or paid out"
"Despite the scope of the problem – a quick search of “US youth soccer club embezzlement” yields just over 3.1m results – the issue remains largely off the radar of youth soccer’s largest governing body, US Youth Soccer. However, this may be as much a consequence of oversight and responsibility as it is of a lack of awareness.
