Tbe OMTiplaint ask that Kelley be ordered to make full account of all monies received by hun, either Srom the oompany or mendiers of the credit union during the year^ 1957 through 1966, whether the fees be dessignated as legal fee, attorney fees, collection fees, loan service fees, rewrite fees or loan commi.ss- ion fees.
A recent audit of the credit union books revealed numeriour discre pances in the treasurer's account during the period 1957-1966; loans loans made to individuals not eli¬ gible for membership; loans made without the approval of the majority of the credit committee; shortages in cash receipts: death benefit checks payable to the credit union cashed by Kelley and diverted to his own use; and other complaints.
Mr. Kelley was cme of tiie foun¬ ders of the local credit union and served as its treasurer from its organization until late 1966, when an audit by the State of Illinois directm- of flnandal institittiona, indicated poor management practices, and he was relieved of bis duties.
