WINNIPEG Manitoba RCMP officers have charged one woman in relation to the misappropriation of over $100,000 from the Kleefeld Recreation Association (KRA). On Feb. 1, 2019, officials with the Rural Municipality of Hanover contacted police about the alleged misappropriation of funds from the KRA. The officials said that during a regularly scheduled audit, they found a number of “suspicious” transactions from within the association. According to police, a forensic financial review was completed and found misappropriation of more than $100,000 in funds. Mounties said this financial review found several irregularities between 2011 and 2018, including unsupported payments for non-KRA-related expenses, such as credit card payments and payments to stores.
