Mayor miffed at ‘disrespectful’ audit into $300M subvention

Mayor Patricia Chase-Green has labelled the manner in which the Auditor General (AG) and the Ministry of Communities have gone about investigating City Hall’s spending of a $300 million government subvention as “unprofessional and disrespectful.”

Speaking at yesterday’s Statutory meeting, Chase-Green said she was in receipt of inconclusive reports of the audit conducted by the audit office. She said she had received the report which contained no recommendations after local newspapers had published findings from the 2015 AG report.

“I received an inconclusive report from the Auditor General and have been informed by the Town Clerk that the auditors are back again,”
