AFN to undergo financial review with RoseAnne Archibald remaining national chief
More than 140 chiefs and proxies passed the resolution at the AFN’s annual general assembly in Vancouver. The text was revised several times over three days, having sparked fierce debate among delegates.
Earlier this month, the AFN’s executive committee and national board of directors unlawfully suspended Archibald, blocking her phone and email access while a human resources investigation into four workplace harassment complaints against her got underway. Thursday’s resolution directs the AFN’s Chiefs’ Committee on Charter Reform to hire an independent third party and, if necessary, order a forensic audit into the past decade of the organization’s financial activity, with particular attention to staff salaries, payouts and contracts.It would also include a digital investigation into alleged breaches of communication.
“We have a number of resolutions that we put forward to the chiefs before the controversy, so we’re going to follow those up and do the work that we always intended to do,” she told Global News.
