... why wouldn't you?
Why not do a forensic audit of the public interests and resources every year?
Cost prohibitive?
What do you think it costs to make it easy to to steal public resources?
APS Finance Department
- One Billion dollars a year.
- No sound financial policies or procedures.
- No adequate books were kept.
- The State Auditor was denied access to the books, and
- Paula Maes APS Modrall is on the record saying that
would identify a senior administrator like Tom Savage
by name. Tom Savage is the APS senior administrator
who was supposed to protect the public interests from
corruption in the APS Police Department, and did not.
It was he who oversaw the Finance Division, and he
was supposed to protect the public interest from
corruption and incompetence; and did not.
How much would you think this is costing taxpayers?
My hunch is, a damn sight more than a yearly audit
would cost; approximately $120,000 dollars.
Less if the system was designed to be easily audited.
An the coverage by Thomas J Lang, Kent Walz,
Michelle Donaldson, Rhonda Aubrey and Mary Lynn Roper?
You can see that for yourself.

In law enforcement you are usually vetted at the beginning of your career, or as you come out of undercover work, that sort of thing. That might include looking into your finances to make sure you were not "on the take".
Anyone who is the watchdog of a billion dollars, or any significant portion thereof, should by God's Whiskers have some ONGOING monetary vetting. If they don't want the audit, then find another job, is how the job description should read.
