Background story: Auditor-General Finds “Major Lapses” in Workers' Party Accounts (http://therealsingapore.com/content/auditor-general-finds-%E2%80%9Cmajor-lapses%E2%80%9D-workers%E2%80%99-party-town-council-accounts)
The Auditor General's Office has released its report into the Aljunied Hougang Punggol East Town Council (AHPETC) and found that the accounts for FY 2012-2013 have some major lapses.
However, the report has also shown no evidence of wrongdoing, corruption or deliberate misuse of funds.
Instead, AHPETC highlighted that it only shows some lapses or lack of reporting which needs to be fixed.
Sylvia Lim, the town council's Chairman said that they would discuss the report in detail in Parliament when it is filed for a motion.
Responding to media queries in general, AHPETC explained that “The past months since the commencement of the audit by the Auditor-General’s Office (AGO) have been very challenging, as the Town Council (TC) dedicated its limited resources to facilitating the audit, including searching for voluminous information, some collated before the current management took over. This onerous task was undertaken concurrently with running a live operation.”
The AHPETC also shared that the report has been useful in highlighting areas they need to improve on. They also pointed out that the report also showed some mistakes on other bodies including other TCs and HDB.
It agreed that it needed improvements in reporting standards and they said that they are currently working on this issue. In fact, they said that they had already implemented some changes before the audit started.
Overall, AHPETC highlighted that there has been no money found missing and only uncovered mistakes and omission due to "inadvertence, human error, IT system constraints and a lack of experience in dealing with certain scenarios".
