Audit Office did not probe NCN financial scandal

The Auditor Office of Guyana which had indicated an intention to probe the financial irregularities at Guyana’s National Communications Network (NCN) is yet to make good on this promise.

Caribbean Trakker has been reliably informed that the Board of Directors of NCN, had approached the Audit Office with a view to contracting out the financial probe.

This was done and the company contracted to undertake the investigation was Parmeswhar Chartered Accountants.

It was this company’s report that was submitted by the Board for the President’s consideration.

This report is also yet to find its way to the Audit Office of Guyana.

The Audit Office was in the process of preparing a team to conduct the audit of NCN as it relates to allegations of financial irregularities involving the Guyana Telephone and Telegraph Company’s Jingle and Song Competition, when the office was approached with the “contracting out” proposal.
