Ines Year After Bank Closure Critics Fault Receivership
The report criticizes lax and dilatory procedures in identifying assets and liabilities at bank closing. Bishop says he was too busy with executive duties to compile an accurate initial inventory and clerical staff were insufficient. Evidence suggests cash accounts were used as counter entries for many offsets, with unclear explanations. The State Savings Bank of Leavenworth had $937,000 in deposits and assets over $1.143 million, with $100,000 capital under the state guaranty fund.
