John Carroll should come clean about some on his accounting. Paul Svendsen from the Donkey Sanctuary approached SEPE the national Spanish charity for the protection of equines for their help, as the Donkey Sanctuary had a field officer working in Spain paying no tax or social security and as they had no charity licence to operate legally within Spain at the time. (Their accounts should show this) SEPE were asked if they would be prepared to legalise his situation by putting him through their books if they were paid a small commission to cover their costs. So his wages, cars, hotels, flights, office costs, expenses, and many other things partly to get the Donkey Sanctuary's own operation going in Spain. Some of this money was put directly through SEPE’s accounts but to SEPE’s surprise when they were shown some of the Donkey Sanctuary's yearly accounts that there was no explanation within their accounts what the money was for, just showing it was all paid as a grant, (wonderfully generous ha!!!) but to SEPE’s thinking this was completely falsifying their accounts to their supporters by not disclosing what the money was actually for i.e. their own field officer and setting up their own sanctuary!. You can contact SEPE through their web site www.sepeonline.net —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.5.37.114 (talk • contribs) 20:33, 21 May 2007
