The accounting officers of the Region 7 (Cuyuni/Mazaruni) council were yesterday upbraided by the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) of Parliament over the handling of documentation and record-keeping as they failed to provide critical answers during the interrogation of the 2017 and 2018 Auditor General’s reports.
PAC Member Gail Teixeira told the accounting officers yesterday that the provision of responses to questions on projects flagged by the Auditor General (AG) is critical.
She noted that the provision of answers is a team effort and supporting officers should be in a position to provide the accounting officers with the right response.
