The city council needs a real audit

Dear Editor,

I saw a newspaper report two days ago in which the city council’s Public Relations Officer boasted that “The AG’s office is to help the M&CC to audit its Treasurer’s Department.”

If indeed true, this would be exhilarating news. But then again one has to wonder why the M&CC is attempting to direct the Auditor General’s office, which department and where they should audit? The entire council needs auditing.

The announcement by the council’s PRO of an audit taking place is merely window dressing. I hope that when the new council comes into place they would demand a real audit.

Yours faithfully,

Mark Roopan
