The James Beard Foundation, the culinary charity whose former president was indicted last week on charges of larceny and forgery, released an audit yesterday that described almost $1 million in improper expenses.
The foundation commissioned the audit in July after questions surfaced about its former president, Leonard F. Pickell Jr., who was charged on Monday with stealing more than $50,000 from the organization. Prosecutors said that Mr. Pickell may soon be charged with stealing more than $1 million."
