The executive director of the Institute for Continuing Legal Education of Georgia billed the nonprofit organization $1,596 for new tires for his Porsche and more than $500 for tires and repairs for his wife’s Mercedes, according to an audit released last week by the University of Georgia.

The information technology director and his wife ran up nearly $1,300 in personal spa and fitness charges on an ICLE-sponsored Bahamas cruise that were also billed to the organization, which offers mandatory continuing education classes for attorneys that are a requirement of their bar licenses. The IT director also charged two cellphones for his children to the organization’s account as well as cellphones for the ICLE’s former executive director, who retired three years ago, his wife, and his two children—resulting in thousands of dollars in services that were either under-reimbursed or not reimbursed until auditors questioned the expenditures.
