Iowa State Auditor Mary Mosimanhas released a report on a special investigation of the Anthon Rescue Squad that shows thousands of dollars of improper use of credit cards and the organization’s money. Mosiman says the investigation focused on former secretary/treasurer Kristine Roggatz

Mosiman says the improper disbursements included almost 81-thousand dollars in payments on credit cards that were in Roggatz’s name, and there were several cash withdrawals from A-T-M’s from the organization’s checking account by Roggatz. The State Auditor was called in after the city and rescue squad staff was contacted by a collection agency regarding a Capital One credit card established in the organization’s name which they were not aware of.

Mosiman says there was a lack of oversight, and it was something that could be easily taken care of by the organization.

The audit covered a period from January 2009 through December of 2014, and Mosiman reported it was not possible to determine if additional amounts were improperly disbursed because bank statements and images of checks redeemed prior to January 1st, 2009 were not available.
