The top two executives at the prominent veterans
charity Wounded Warrior Project have been fired amid allegations of
extravagant spending on themselves and their employees.
The board of directors fired chief executive
officer Steven Nardizzi and chief operating officer Al Giordano Thursday
after an independent review found "some policies, procedures and
controls at WWP have not kept pace with the organization's rapid growth
in recent years and are in need of strengthening," according to a
statement from the nonprofit sent to NBC News.
The charity, one of the largest in the nation for veterans, has been mired in controversy since January, when a CBS News investigation
found many of its donations were going toward employees: $26 million on
company conferences in 2014 alone, according to CBS News.
