manxchatterbox Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Douglas Corporation is the trustee of five registered charities The Allsop Trust The Percy Neville Trust The Samuael Norris (Prison) Trust The Samuel Norris (Political) Trust The J K Ward Trust which between them hold £3,485 and which ratepayers pay to have KPMG LLC audit.... Does anyone know what these trusts are all about and why should they continue as an expense of teh ratepayers??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gladys Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Ask the General Registry what they are about and also advise why these trusts are continuing at the expense of the Douglas ratepayer. Your question isn't expanded in your post, so yet again, we have no idea what this is all about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Tatlock Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Charity funds have in the past been vehicles for potential corruption (though not necessarily here) - so I would say yes to auditing. However, perhaps large auditors should take into account that these are charities when they put together their bills. They would probably get some free publicity.

Charles Flynn Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Perhaps the auditors charge a minimal amount. It would be up to the Corporation to apply to the High Court if the charities were to be wound up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
When Skies Are Grey Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Where on earth do you come up with your topic headings and why the hell do you care?? Seriously is the expenditure of a couple of grand on an audit that big a deal....you need to get out more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
