                        (Boston Orange 周菊子波士頓報導) 逾百年來被稱為”革命之母”的華僑，在世界各地成立有數難以計，名稱不同的組織。8月28日，波士頓地區又成立了一個新的華僑組織，名為”世界華僑總會”。

            ,華僑協會總會理事長黃海龍與帝苑大酒樓前東主黃官羨應邀擔任名譽理事長，波士頓安良工商會共同會長黃立輝擔任理事長。四名副理事長分別為前任紐英崙中華公所主席，也是波士頓安良幹部的阮鴻燦，曾任至德三德公所美東副總理的黃周麗桃，欖城安良工商會的現任會長陳任卓，早任會長李銳浩。

             黃海龍早於1994年間，在波士頓擔任僑教中心主任，返台後曾歷任多職、再接任於1942年由中國國民黨元老吳鐵城博士在當年陪都重慶成立的”華僑協會總會”理事長，並連任迄今。

             致詞時，黃海龍透露了”世界華僑總會”的成立淵源。

             今年四月，全美安良工商會在台灣舉行年會，僑委會請”華僑協會總會”接待一晚。席間，黃立輝與阮鴻燦表示，希望為華僑提供更多服務，並探問可否在波士頓成立華僑協會的分會。由於2002年8月28日已有梅佩凡成立華僑協會總會波士頓分會，擔任創會會長，現由曾任全美安良工商會元老的梅錫銳擔任現任會長，他們商量後，決定成立”世界華僑總會”。

             黃立輝在致詞時特地強調，該會將是一個有世界各國華僑參與的全球性組織。他和黃海龍還簽署了"世界華僑總會”與”華僑協會總會”的"合作及友誼協議書”。

               大波士頓地區眾多僑團首長，這晚也紛紛應邀上台，獲頒一紙”名譽理事”證書。

            在波士頓成立的“世界華僑總會"第一屆職員，除了名譽理事長黃海龍之外，目前全是波士頓及羅德島本地人，分別為理事長：黃立輝，副理事長：阮鴻燦、黃周麗桃、李銳浩、陳任卓，中文書記：黃納斯，英文書記：葉福文，財政：陳國航，核數：陳瑞欣，法律顧問：黃瑞瑜、黃澤堯。

                    席間，黃海龍還特地頒發一枚”僑光獎章”給黃官羨，表揚他對華人社區的貢獻。

MAYOR WALSH RELEASES FINANCIAL AUDIT OF STUDENT ACTIVITY ACCOUNTS AT BOSTON PUBLIC SCHOOLS

MAYOR WALSH RELEASES FINANCIAL AUDIT OF STUDENT ACTIVITY ACCOUNTS AT BOSTON PUBLIC SCHOOLS

BOSTON - Friday, August 31, 2018 - Mayor Martin J. Walsh today announced the findings of the independent audit conducted by Ernst & Young (EY) of student activity accounts at Boston Public Schools (BPS). The EY audit analyzed fund activity and use, assessed key internal controls and reviewed historical transactions at 118 schools in the BPS system, excluding the six Horace Mann Charter schools due to their autonomy, for School Years 2013 through 2018, or the past five years. "Student activity accounts were launched in the early 1990s and, while they are in most of our schools in Boston, these accounts have never been audited or reviewed until now," Mayor Walsh said. "Trust, transparency and being fiscally responsible for the residents of Boston is what drives our priorities, and this in-depth review has allowed for the creation of substantial and comprehensive new policies and procedures. I want to thank our school leaders for their partnership in this review and for embracing these new guidelines as we begin the new school year." EY was retained by the City of Boston following an audit by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) that included a review of student activity accounts at 16 randomly chosen schools. Several operational changes were made at the City of Boston and BPS as a result of the IRS audit, including eliminating the use of local accounts, requiring all student activity funds to be held and managed through the City of Boston's financial system, enhancing controls and clearer communication to school leaders regarding the rules surrounding student activity accounts. "The Boston School Committee is committed to implementing and upholding policies and practices to ensure all funds in the Boston Public Schools are safeguarded and being used appropriately," Boston School Committee Chairman Michael Loconto said. "We thank Mayor Walsh, BPS staff, and Ernst & Young for their continued cooperation and assessment of student activity accounts. The School Committee looks forward to reviewing the upcoming proposal to ensure stronger accounting practices in the district, and working with the Internal Audit Task Force that was approved by the Committee last winter to advance prudent fiscal oversight for our school system." As EY's work was ongoing, the City of Boston and BPS took significant steps to address any potential risks uncovered by their review and ensure the proper policies and procedures were in place before the beginning of the school year. These actions are in addition to the changes already made in response to the IRS audit and include the following: Created a Superintendent Policy and a Student Activity Account Operating Manual that provides a comprehensive set of rules and procedures for student activity fund management; Drafted a policy that will be presented to the School Committee for approval in September that complies with all statutory and regulatory requirements for student activity accounts; Provided comprehensive training on the new rules and procedures to school leaders in August that will be held annually by BPS; Created a Master Agency Account that provides the necessary financial controls by requiring all student activity deposits and expenditures to be managed through the City of Boston's financial system; and, In addition to including the Master Agency Account as part of the City of Boston's annual financial auditing process, put in place a requirement for operational audits that will be conducted at schools on a rotating basis by BPS to ensure ongoing compliance with all policies.     EY also identified several specific control and procedural gaps that presented the highest potential risk, including those related to segregation of funding sources, expenditures and duties, tax reporting process, appropriateness of fund usage, cash collection and on-hand cash procedures. Each of these priority issues have been addressed through the new policies and operating manual, the Master Agency Account that requires all expenditures to go through the City of Boston's payment system, the new internal auditing process that will be implemented at BPS, new guidelines on maintaining appropriate documentation on the sources of funds, a stated procedure for the handling and reconciliation of funds prior to and after deposit and the elimination of local accounts. "The structures and protocols we have implemented as a result of the EY audit will ensure that, going forward, student activity accounts are used to empower educators to provide BPS students with opportunities for well-rounded and engaging educational experiences in a transparent and thoughtful manner," Interim Superintendent Laura Perille said. "BPS is grateful to all those who participated in and worked on this important initiative to maintain sound fiscal stewardship over these modest but important components of spending in our schools." The proposed School Committee policy will be presented to the Boston School Committee for approval at their meeting on September 12, 2018. The Student Activity Operating Manual and Superintendent Policy was presented to school leaders at the August Leadership Institute and can be found here. Student activities are broadly defined to be co-curricular in nature, contingent on a fee or on external fundraising and for the sole benefit of students. BPS recognizes the following as student activities: Socials, for instance a prom or student pizza party; Special events, for instance a graduation or a Science Fair; Field trips, for instance transportation costs or entry fees; Approved student clubs, for instance student council or debate club; Bookstores, only when the bookstore is run by students and proceeds will benefit students directly; Athletics, only when funds are student-driven or student-initiated and proceeds will benefit students directly; and, Certain miscellaneous, student-related activities. EY spent three to five days at each school during their review and produced a summary of school specific findings in addition to their overall report. These school specific summaries are available online for further review by school leaders and the school community.
