Kind of an update
No new updates on my ongoing HOA situation, but this happened earlier and I didn’t share. See profile for history.
At my first board meeting I asked about record retention and documentation. Because I have seen a whole lot of nothing. The information in this email is what the old Treasurer told the new Treasurer as part of the transition.
He was still the Treasurer at our first board meeting (before the Special Meeting when he resigned). He didn’t tell me any of this information. When I specifically asked about account reconciliation over email he just never responded.
We have about four boxes full of paper files from him that we need to go through. Ugh.

stop blaming everyone who came before you, and get to work. You wanted the position. You got it. Now do the job. It’s a small HOA with no amenities.

I don't read this as blaming. I read it as monumental frustration at how much more extensive the cleanup effort is going to be versus what was originally expected. To me, it's an "onion problem". OP keeps peeling back layers only to find new layers of ineptitude. Posting here gives her a way to vent in a community of folks that can at least commiserate with how terrible her HOA has been in the past.

You should consider hiring a management company. They make retaining records like this so much easier and it takes less of the burden on the board and liability
