Comments on: Who Audits the Auditor, and why it’s not news… http://sistersagesmusings.ca/2013/01/18/who-audits-the-auditor-and-why-its-not-news/ Center-left blog from Canadians across the country and beyond Mon, 20 May 2013 12:40:02 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Priscilla Judd http://sistersagesmusings.ca/2013/01/18/who-audits-the-auditor-and-why-its-not-news/comment-page-1/#comment-13296 Priscilla Judd Mon, 21 Jan 2013 06:44:42 +0000 http://sistersagesmusings.ca/?p=13476#comment-13296 Wow Kim, that’s a great story! The CPC audit: Deloitte’s original opinion “has been withdrawn…” That’s damming stuff. These guys all look like crooks.

Here’s more: Deloitte is being Audited in the US and UK for not having evidence (receipts) to back up some of their findings. (link below)

Also, I wanted to share this from Deloitte’s Attawapiskat Audit’s Background 1.1 (second paragraph):
“On April 19, 2012, based on the progress made in remediating urgent housing-related health and safety issues, AANDC determined that the default situation was remedied and removed the First Nation from third party management.”

So, they claim the appointed monitor for Attawapiskat left AFTER the housing crisis was resolved? HUH? That crisis is still ongoing and by the way, the Court ordered him out! So what what can you believe? It’s all spin! The Government should be held accountable for promoting racism.

I recently learned that the Crown is the Trustee for First Nations money – apparently, there are no “hand outs from taxpayers”. That’s according to the info on the twitter link below.

The Federal Government manages 2 trillion dollars worth of First Nation money which generates 35 billion/year in interest. And First nations have to jump through hoops and forms to get their own money which is then characterized as “a handout”. How about it Kim, this is quite the story!

“Deloitte was the auditor of Autonomy, a UK software firm acquired by HP in 2011 for $11.1 billion. HP announced today it is writing down more than $5 billion…because of “serious accounting improprieties, misrepresentation and disclosure failures”.”

“Deloitte auditors on nine of the 61 audits it reviewed did not obtain adequate evidence to support their opinions… Auditors also may not have exercised proper skepticism or properly challenged management estimates…”

Deloitte’s Audit of Attawapiskat:
OTTAWA, ONTARIO (January 7, 2013) – Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada (AANDC) today released the results of the comprehensive and independent audit relating to the Attawapiskat First Nation’s Management Control Framework which was carried out by Deloitte and Touche LLP. see here: http://www.aadnc-aandc.gc.ca/eng/1350243697995/1350243941069

This isn’t ironic at all, actually – the current crop of “free-market” reich wing governments though having abandoned trade tariffs, freeing capital to ignore borders entirely (in the name of IMPOSED free trade which has the effect of Corporate usurpation of the peoples right to regulate in their own interests about things like the environment and health) have continued to practice budget busting and corruption, from Lyin’ Brian, to Ronnie Raygun, to Bu$h the Lesser/Darth Cheney, to our current LINOs in Victoria from the Campbell/Clark Crime Family to the hideous ruling cabal in Ottawa today under Treason Steven! They just have this habit of opposite speak so well described in 1984.

While this audit report is most definitely torqued to produce the desired effect what screams out at me is just how much AANDC has to answer for here.

The women of Idle No More will see to that. With the help of Canadians of all stripes.

There’s no justice, even for combating what in Canadian society would be considered libel and slander.
