I've done the accounts for a charity before now.

Most small charities don't have a proper accounts department, they just have the odd person help out in their spare time.

It's not uncommon for it to be a mess for years before they find someone to sort it out.

The issues with this one involve payments to family members and various dodgy dealings with donations and using blackmail to gain grants. It’s way beyond simple accounting errors.
