Auditor: Mariner Band Boosters Money Mismanaged

Unauthorized bank account was opened


An audit of the Mariner Middle School band boosters has uncovered an unauthorized bank account opened by the band director who then mismanaged funds, state auditors say.

The report found a reducation of nearly $10,000 in the band boosters bank account from 2008 to 2010, according to the report. However, Chief Administrative Auditor Kathleen O'Donnell said there's no way to tell how much is actually missing because no one was checking it. Band boosters also tend to handle a lot of cash, which can be tough to track, she said.
