A National Emergency: Incomplete Audited Financial Reports
Deputy Premier, Minister for Health and Social Development, Hon. Carvin Malone has asked Premier and Minister for Finance Hon. Andrew Fahie to have the completion of the outstanding audited financial reports completed.
The incomplete reports are already being labelled as a national emergency.
The outstanding financial audits have been referred to in the past as a blemish on the Territory’s financial reporting and was a matter that was harped on by the current Premier while he was the Leader of the Opposition.
The disclosure of the request by Hon. Malone is coupled by the Premier’s announcement that the matter will be treated as a Territorial priority. Both of these announcements were made public in the report from the Standing Finance Committee (SFC) deliberations.
It was stated that Hon. Malone after listening to comments from Auditor General (AG) Sonia Webster became more concerned about the matter, and queried the solution.
“What could be done to have the 2017, 2018 and 2019 financial statements submitted by June or August 2020,” Hon. Malone asked.
