Auditor General flags City Hall’s accounting again

The Auditor General’s 2016 report has noted that the Georgetown council is the only municipality to fail to account for its subvention from Central Government.

For the second year, Auditor General Deodat Sharma has raised concerns about the quality of the accounting at City Hall.

In his 2016 Report, Sharma noted that the Ministry of Communities had budgeted $200 million for Georgetown restoration initiatives, which, according to the Appropriation Account, was spent at December 31, 2016.

However, on December 22, 2016, the Mayor and City Council submitted a report on capital works with expenditure amounting to $173.505 million, $26.495 million less.
