Auditor General disclaims responsibility for backlogged GPSU audits

Auditor General (AG) Deodat Sharma has opposed a statement made by the Guyana Public Service Union’s (GPSU’s) attorney, claiming that the AG’s office is responsible for its accounts not being audited for the past 12 years.

Sharma, in an invited response to the comment made by attorney Roysdale Forde on Tuesday after an interim injunction against the union was discharged, said he “strongly disagreed” with Forde’s claim, and alluded to the fact that the AG’s office has been waiting sometime for the union to clear their 2004 and 2005 statements.
