My boss is currently under investigation for fraud and misconduct.

My boss is currently under investigation for fraud and misconduct. This is not the first time concerns have been brought to the boards attention. A third party lawyer reached out to me letting me know this was happening, and asked me questions about possible violations; there are countless. On top of misusing our funds, at a non-profit, they are completely incompetent at being a leader or manager. I was also informed that they will be made aware of all allegations and has a certain amount of time to come up with receipts and reasoning for the charges on our companies credit card. this has created an incredibly hostile and even more toxic work environment. I have been applying and interviewing to other job like crazy, but have yet to find something feasible. I'm coming to the point where I am ready to walk out. I cannot fathom how he is still employed?! Help :(

    It is frustrating not being in control of timing, and the amount of work it takes in investigations can be unique and time consuming to completion can take its toll. You staying or going has no bearing on the outcome of an investigation, especially if you're not the only witness, and it sounds like even forensic search into accounting practices will be leaned into. Whether it's substantiated or not, your wanting to search for a new role is up to you and what works best for you. It's not going to hurt looking at minimum, but if you're thinking of that being the decision maker for you to stay or not then you need to weigh that in for yourself as well.
