The Auditor General is still waiting for information on the identity of businesses and individuals who tendered more than $32.78 million in dishonoured cheques to Government.The figure reported by the Accountant General’s Office is not only staggering, but Auditor General Leigh Trotman says those responsible for the bad cheques remain a mystery.Reporting in his 2021 report for the 12-month period ending March 31, Trotman said “A balance of $32,786,650.07 was reported in respect of dishonoured cheques received. However, the relevant listing of the individuals or entities to whom these amounts referred was not provided for audit inspection; hence, the auditors could not verify this total,” he outlined.The Auditor General has cast doubt on several figures presented by the Government Treasury which were prepared by the Accountant General’s Office.
