Are you SHOCKED that the SCDOT is blocking their own auditor?
Joyce Koh at WLTX.com reports:
The South Carolina Department of Transportation’s Chief Internal Auditor told a Legislative Subcommittee Tuesday that the commission is restricting him from conducting certain audit requests.
Auditor Paul Townes said that the S.C.D.O.T. commission has restricted him to working on compliance audits only, not being able to conduct performance audits, like fraud investigations.
“Management is in the role of policing themselves,” Townes said. “I don’t think the commission sees themselves as much as an oversight as they do as an advocate of the department, so if we come through and have critical audits, then it tends, I think, to make the commission uncomfortable too.”
Townes said when they finished up a seven-page audit on outsourcing, which took two years to complete, the commission tabled the study, saying it was not worthy of publication.
“Act 114 states that we are to distribute all of our audits to the commission as well as the 4 legislators,” Townes said. “I recently received a new job description that says the commission wants to approve them before the legislature sees them.”
“We feel that the internal audit function should be more focused on the efficiencies within the department instead of trying to become a cop or a police officer,” Vice Chairman of the D.O.T commission Mike Wooten said.
