USAC with the timetable for elections less than a month away from 15 October issue of compliance with the member of the league under discussion. John Thicket Finance USA Cricket Association, says that the organization has finally solved the problem so that it will continue to move forward.

"I'm not signing off on our tax returns until the Council gets to the bottom of this" ESPNcricinfo Thickett said. "It is particularly with regard to the case said they have a league Only eight clubs, and they have 72 for example. If they were to buy insurance, I worry about insurance fraud, which is a crime of this kind of misrepresentation number of clubs in their league. "

USAC president Gladstone changes promise to bring a delicate independent auditor to investigate compliance with the law firm of Austin, Texas, by chance, Robert was chosen to investigate and make recommendations to the Governing Council in which the links are consistent and Therefore, those who may be able to participate in the election. The goal is to complete the revision of October 1.

"The president has hired a lawyer who is an expert in connection with the organization," said Thickett. "He was communicating with the board recently about his plan to collect this information so that we can fulfill."

This has not gone so well. After Chance emailed to explain his plans for a compliance review process, USAC, John Aaron responded by defying the way in which chance was hired. Aaron's statement that only members of the executive council of five years were not informed or consulted the representatives of the eight regions of the USACE.

Regardless, Thickett said the compliance process is not only to decide who can vote in elections, but also to improve the economic responsibility of the entire organization. Also include insurance fraud claims that may arise, Thickett said were wrong to USAC of its league members who fail to pay premiums for the correct number of member clubs in the league.

USAC also received a grant for the development of U.S. $ 25 000 U.S. Office International Criminal Court in Toronto last year that the USAC distributed among the eight regions. Each region must submit a proposal on how to use the money they received, but Thickett said he has not received a report that documents how each area actually your money.

"This money has been out for several months and when I spoke with the CEO, he still can not get a report of a region, how they actually used. We have an obligation to report to the International Criminal Court, "Thickett said. "It's something if we give them $ 3,000 for grass roots and it does not translate programmess or actions that have been shown. When we get to $ 100 000, what should happen with the money? "

Thickett but admit that the national organization was not the best example for the regions when it comes to sound fiscal management. He specifically mentioned the example of the exorbitant fees paid to the players fly to one destination, before the team leaves for a tournament of the ICC. Although there are cases where a team can hold six to eight players and executives from New York - where the U.S. teams typically differ - there have been cases where Thickett said he has sometimes cost between 10000 to 12000 to get a team to a database, because the tickets are purchased on short notice.

"If the cricket team of the Committee made decisions more quickly, we could do it cheaper. Often the Options Committee of the cricket has come at the last moment," said the bush. "I think the Under-15 was a great example. In my opinion we were buying tickets for a few days before the event is available. I took him in several meetings of the Board of Directors. We talked about it many times at meetings Council. Before we get teams together before you get a ticket. "

"The organization is great for a mom and dad more than an actual organization. The national organization should be more efficient and better managers participating in the activities and functions. It extends also to the regions. They have to be above it . I believe that there is a great improvement for all. "

Thickett said more than $ 600,000 has been spent so far in 2011 to prepare national teams for the events of the ICC and to pay the costs associated with national tournaments. However, wants to dispel any rumors that the organization carries men's senior USACE earlier this month due to lack of funds. Thickett said the money was earmarked for the tournament, but tournament receive a budget for consideration for approval.
