When the regional chamber of accounts (CRC) looks at a file, it is to be expected that it will sting. In its report dated October 22, the CRC points to a “non-compliance or violation” of decrees, laws and the commercial code, non-compliance with the 2015 conciliation agreement and non-compliance with the statutes and conventions of the SASP and the association.
1. Public funding
The VAFC received around € 4 million of public money between 2014 and 2017, including € 2.6 million in grants. The CRC emphasizes that most of these subsidies, which intervened to contribute financially to the recovery of SASP, have not been the subject of requests or justification of funds. And for € 2.2 million of them, the CRC estimates that “The aid received by SASP should therefore have been notified to the European authorities. There is a risk of reclassification of subsidies into interventions of an economic nature that could lead to the recovery of the sums received. »City, town, department could be ordered to recover their funds.
2. Governance
The statutes put in place “deviate from the normally applicable legal framework and tend in particular to increase the powers of the management board and to lighten its obligations”, notes the CRC, which points out that Eddy Zdziech and his son Cédric, members of the management board, also do part of the HRD governing bodies. “No act of the management board is subject to the prior authorization of the supervisory board (chaired by the son-in-law of Eddy Zdziech and of which 9 of the 10 members are from HRD)”. The confusion of roles leads the majority shareholder to become “judge and party in the approval of a report. The president of Valencia has undertaken to modify the statutes in question.
3. Regulated agreements
The TSR company benefited free of charge from a box of 15 people and the affixing of the logo on the jerseys without formalizing a convention. Lille police officers heard from Eddy Zdziech in 2017 in this case relating to the abuse of social property. It took a reminder to the law of the prosecutor so that the agreement with retroactive effect, is written “but without justification of the interest for the company (VAFC) nor specified the financial conditions attached. “For the CRC, the favorable vote of DRH” went against its own interests insofar as the agreement deprived the SASP of revenue. “Eddy Zdziech justified, supporting invoices, this agreement, without convincing the CRC.
4. Finances
During the three financial years studied, the shareholders’ equity being less than half of the share capital, the risk of the dissolution of the company should have been published. The CRC, relying on the conciliation procedure, underlines the efforts… which remain below the commitments. And recalls the words of the DNCG which notes a “lack of reliability of budget forecasts with overly optimistic projections both in income and in expenses. “
