CHIEF Executive Officer of the Jamaica Cricket Association (JCA) Robert Bryan has said that the issue surrounding the incomplete financial report has been ironed out.

When contacted by the Observer earlier this week, Bryan said the auditors have confirmed that they have received all relevant documents to complete the report.

“The auditors have received all the information that they need to complete the audit and they have written a letter indicating that and have given the specific date when the actual report would be submitted to the JCA Board. This has facilitated the Board in taking a decision to set the (date for the) Annual General Meeting (AGM).

“All the issues that were discussed in previous interviews and all of those issues which came out in the press recently about the JCA and its auditing have been sorted out,” he said.

The JCA’s financial state took centre stage late last year when it was revealed that outstanding documents had delayed the completion of an audited report and had subsequently forced the postponement of the AGM.

Now set for February 9, this year’s AGM will carry an extra buzz after JCA vice-president Lyndel Wright recently announced his intention to challenge incumbent Paul Campbell for the top position.

While audited investigations last November had reportedly exonerated the JCA and any of its members of committing fraud, Bryan insisted that measures will be put in place to ensure a proper paper trail.

“What we are working on at the moment is to ensure that the accounts of the JCA will be done to normal standards so that essentially, in years to come, there will be a more timely production and less accounting or bookkeeping issues.

“It is certainly one of the objectives that we are focused on at the moment, to have the auditors get the report of the accounts for the year just completed — 2009 to 2010 — for auditing by the end of March this year,” Bryan said.
