Auditors blog

Just over one month ago, the ceiling at 181st St. on the West Side IRT came crashing down and with it arose cries of a subpar station maintenance program. This week, New York City’s Comptroller William Thompson issued a damning report highly critical of the way New York City Transit goes about maintaining a database of stations in need of repairs and fixing those repairs. “We recently averted tragedy when a subway ceiling collapsed onto tracks in Upper Manhattan.

John Christensen launched the attack in 2006 and the argument is summarised here : The incidence of tax evasion, and the scale of its impact on the revenue income of poorer countries, has risen significantly in the past three decades, but for the greater part this crime is scarcely recognised by those who have shaped the current corruption debate. The reaAccording to a recent entry on the All Politics Blog, Jerry Heer, Milwaukee County’s auditor, said his office is reviewing a big backlog of maintenance work in county parks, work that could allegedly total $300 million.
