The problem that a large amount of unclear money was revealed at the "All Japan Private Kindergarten Association".
According to interviews with related parties, the total amount of unclear money has reached more than 320 million yen in at least the three years up to the first year of Reiwa.
The Kindergarten Federation will report the results of these internal investigations at a meeting of executives from kindergarten organizations across the country on the 9th.
Regarding the "All Japan Private Kindergarten Federation", which has about 7,500 private kindergartens nationwide, it became clear that a large amount of money has been unclear since September last year when the federation was audited, and the use is unknown. It is also known that former chairman Kei Kagawa and others who resigned after being pointed out the existence of gold were involved in forging the passbooks of multiple bank accounts that greatly inflated the actual balance.
The Kindergarten Federation has set up an internal special committee to investigate with lawyers and certified accountants, but the total amount of unclear money is 320 million in at least three years from 2017 to the first year of Reiwa. Interviews with related parties revealed that the yen is too high.
According to the people concerned, what is not used is the general account, which is mainly funded by the membership fee income collected from the affiliated kindergartens, and the fund reserved for international exchange and disaster countermeasures.
Of the 320 million yen, about 290 million yen was withdrawn from the account in cash and no receipt was found, so the remaining 30 million yen can be confirmed from the remittance record etc. It means that I don't know what purpose it was used for because I haven't done the necessary procedures.
In response to NHK's interview, several members of the federation said, "Cash was frequently withdrawn from the account in millions of yen. There were some high-value receipts, but I do not know what purpose they were used for. No, "he testified.
According to people familiar with the matter, the Kindergarten Federation will report on the results of these internal investigations at a meeting of executives from kindergarten organizations across the country on the 9th.
Former Chairman Kagawa, who resigned from the interviews so far, said, "I resigned because I am responsible for management and supervision as chairman, but the office staff manages the account, and I myself have not diverted even one yen. I have no idea what the money was used for. "
