| Part VI,line 5 | | Explanation:| Flat Rock Archive FRA retained an accountant in the spring of 2022 to perform an audit of Flat Rock's financial records. The Forensic audit determined that Flat Rock's former executive-director had misappropriated Flat Rock funds and assets. Flat Rock also became aware of additional financial misconduct by the former executive director during his tenure and acting on his own authority and did not consult with the Board of Directors nor did he have an approval from the board of directors. This misconduct included: 1 utilizing the museum property as a residence; 2 charging admission for events hosted at the Flat Rock Museum and misappropriating those funds for his own use falsified legal documents; and 4 misusing COVID-19 relief funds that were allocated to Flat Rock. The Flat Rock Board of Directors voted to remove the former executive director. His last day as executive director was August 19 2022. Flat Rock has formally informed him that he is not permitted on Flat Rock's property and he no longer has access to any of Flat Rock's financial accounts or other assets. The Flat Rock Board of Directors engaged an Investigator to perform an independent investigation of the former executive director's misappropriation of Flat Rock funds and assets. After that investigation Flat Rock engaged the law firms of Caplan Cobb LLC and Hudson Lambert Parrott LLC to assist with further investigating and rectifying the former executive director's misappropriation. Flat Rock is currently involved in litigation to recoup the funds and assets that the former executive director misappropriated. Flat Rock has asserted a claim against the former executive director related to his misappropriation of funds and assets as well as his other misconduct including residing in the museum and hosting unauthorized events. At the recommendation of our Accountant Flat Rock Archive Inc. will be amending the form 990 for 2022. |
