Reviewing a financial statement from our previous OC Manager, I have found several dubious charges. I've checked these charges with suppliers.
The discrepancies include a charge of $1685 for Essential Services when these services were billed as $232. There are also charges of three water excesses of $2500 each when no work has been carried out or billed. There are also Owners Corporation charges for repairs in addition to agreed insurance work.
What should I do? Is this a Police matter? Should we get an audit done? If we get an audit done, what are the next steps?

Can the owners corporation manager place owner motion proposals on the AGM agenda? This would allow other owners to consider and ask questions about the proposals before the AGM. Motions requiring a resolution are raised in any other business, and people are asked to vote immediately. I understand that if there is a quorum, the result stands, but is there a minimum time, eg., two weeks for owners to make an informed decision?

We wish to change our fire door lock to one with a keypad and key entry. Our current apartment fire doors are impossible to lock when exiting the apartment without a key. Even if the internal lock is engaged, the door remains unlocked from the exterior until you lock it with the key. Will our new lock have to conform to the same locking functionality?

One household in our community title scheme has an owner-occupier who rents out 3 other rooms in the house.
One of the renters persists in parking on the grassed verges which are common property, despite being asked to stop. We know who it is but do not know their name and they are not forthcoming. Our BC Committee has issued general letters to the household covering the bylaw and asking for the behaviour to stop.

If the body corporate uses sinking fund monies to purchase shares in a Pty Ltd company, who then are the shareholders in the case of a body corporate?
If all owners are deemed to be shareholders in the company (and NOT just the committee), do all owners then have a vote in relation to company matters?

The building manager agreed to fix a leaking stop cock but did not carry out the repair until 17 days later. During that time, water damage occurred to my floorboards, and I now need to replace the flooring in the whole room. The flooring cannot be replaced like for like. Who is responsible for the replacement?
