加拿大曲棍球金融類股首次披露潛在的性侵犯賠償基金的細節設置曲棍球加拿大首次披露其財務報表一個基金,《環球郵報》揭露了今年秋天,數百萬美元的注冊費球員被悄悄撥出潛在的性侵犯清算。儲備,即參與者遺產信托基金,在10月透露,在全球獲得文檔時顯示它的存在,包括是創造使用價值超過700萬美元的注冊費。第二這樣的基金,曲棍球加拿大使用登記費用,沒有告訴父母和球員他們的錢是如何被使用的。7月全球調查顯示目的國家股票基金,這數百萬美元用於球員定居點——包括性侵犯訴訟費用今年推出的所謂的她被強奸的女人2018年全國青年團隊的成員。信任被揭露後,曲棍球是加拿大前臨時董事會主席安德裏亞·斯金納麵臨激烈的國會議員的提問在聯邦聽證會組織10月為什麼沒有披露參與者政府遺產信托基金,或對其金融書籍。斯金納女士無法回答揭示了信托的法律文件,但說加拿大曲棍球不考慮儲備資產需要披露,部分原因是它成立保護省級協會從潛在的索賠。然而,加拿大曲棍球的審計人員不同意。在新發布的財務報表2021 - 22個財政年度,周四公開,審計人員清單參與者遺產信托基金已經開始作為一個項目在加拿大曲棍球的書。“我們注意注意14在財務報表提供的細節有關參與者的遺產信托基金,並沒有披露,“審計師,BDO加拿大LLP財務報告附在一份聲明中說。因為加拿大曲棍球施加控製基金,包括受托人,審計人員認為有必要披露。 “This confirms the Participants Legacy Trust Fund that The Globe and Mail uncovered in court documents should be included in Hockey Canada’s books by virtue of Hockey Canada’s control,” said Kate Bahen, managing director of Charity Intelligence Canada, which scrutinizes non-profit organizations. “The previous directors testified otherwise. And the auditor’s inclusion shows us that, in their professional opinion, it should be disclosed.” MPs at the hearings were frustrated by Hockey Canada’s unwillingness to answer questions about the trust and what they saw as an effort to mislead the public. Ms. Skinner said the fund had been mischaracterized, even though MPs on the parliamentary committee investigating Hockey Canada had obtained the legal documents the Globe’s article was based on and read directly from them at the hearings. Ms. Skinner resigned less than a week later . According to the newly released audited financials, the trust has total assets of $7.5-million, and generated $238,000 worth of investment income over the past fiscal year, which was distributed to Hockey Canada’s provincial members. As The Globe reported in October, the trust was set up for potential claims against Hockey Canada and its provincial members, including sexual assault, but it had not been used on any lawsuits. Instead, it sat as a massive unused financial stockpile, if needed, which could also be used as a backstop to the National Equity Fund for legal settlements. The financial statements released Thursday show that Hockey Canada paid out nearly $2.9-million in legal settlements in the past fiscal year. That includes an amount paid to settle a lawsuit filed by a young woman in London, Ont., who alleged she was sexually assaulted by several members of the 2018 national junior team after a Hockey Canada fundraising event. The woman filed a lawsuit in May for $3.55-million, which was settled in three weeks. The financial records don’t show how many settlements the $2.9-million figure includes, nor do they provide a precise figure for the 2018 settlement. However, the records show that the sexual-assault lawsuit was settled for less than the original $3.55-million claim.
