Dear Mr. Bernstetter:
Mr. Tim Bernstetter, Treasurer
Painters Local 2341
2 Falcon Ridge Ct.
Defiance, MO 63341
Case Number:
LM Number: 012130
This office has recently completed an audit of Painters Local 2341 under the Compliance Audit
Program (CAP) to determine your organization’s compliance with the provisions of the Labor-
Management Reporting and Disclosure Act of 1959 (LMRDA). As discussed during the exit
interview with you and Bruce Finks on April 6, 2011, no violations of the LMRDA were
disclosed in areas of financial activity included in the CAP. This does not exhaust all possible
problem areas, however, since the audit conducted was limited in scope and did not include all
areas of your union’s operation.
I want to extend my personal appreciation to Painters Local 2341 for the cooperation and
courtesy extended during this compliance audit. I strongly recommend that you make sure this
letter and the compliance assistance materials provided to you are passed on to future officers. If
we can provide any additional assistance, please do not hesitate to call.
Sincerely,
Investigator
