Audit Antipathy
posted (February 22, 2017)

And we have one more piece of Teresita Castellanos’s testimony to the senate today. It’s her condemnation of the way the Auditor General’s team handled the audit, and she says, they made mistakes that they could have avoided. Here’s how she explained it:

Teresita Castellanos - Former FO, Immigration Department
"I need for them on the record to do a proper auditing. I think they should have sent in their best team, top team to do this investigation at the audit department because they are causing a lot of unnecessary confusion and wrong information and then I don't want to say I was not remembering because I remember things - certain things I remember in detail as if it was yesterday. But the thing is they should have sent in their top team to do this investigation."

Hon. Aldo Salazar - Chairman, Senate Select Committee
"So you don't think the audit was properly done?"

Teresita Castellanos
"The audit has a lot of things that need to be amended and those of us who are affected and being accused - I fully agree with an investigation they want to carry because I have nothing, I'm taking about myself, nothing to worry about. If I did a human error I can admit it anytime and say sir I did an error, I apologise for it if that be possible."
