APS bookkeepers promoted for keeping their mouths shut

The recent audit of the APS Financial Division by Meyners
revealed a number of long standing issues;

• a failure to keep accurate books
• a failure to codify financially sound policies and procedures;
• and, a failure to enforce such procedures as they had.

Two people, Gina Hickman and Michael Kimbrell have both
worked for the APS for some time.

I reasoned that they knew, or should have known, about
the problems that the Meyner Audit "discovered".

And further that they should have reported what they knew;
that they should have blown the whistle
on the incompetence and corruption, and

did not.

Hickman has now been promoted to Chief Financial Officer;
and Kimbrell to Director of Internal Audits;

which appears to be as rewards for
keeping their mouths shut for as long as they did.

I emailed both, and offered them the opportunity to explain,
defend, or even acknowledge these allegations, and neither
responded.

Which I consider to be at least a tacit admission that the
allegations have merit.

It would not be inconsistent in anyway with the manner
in which the APS does business, and has done business for years.
