A website and Facebook page have been launched to keep the public informed about the process and progress of Commission of Inquiry into the Auditor-General’s report.

The commission’s website includes the following information and documents:

• an outline of the process the Commission will be following as they conduct their investigation

• information about how to submit information to the commission

• a listing of the commission’s confidential hotline (294-0414)

• biographies of the commission members

• relevant documents such as the Commissions of Inquiry Act 1935, the Terms of Reference and the Auditor-General’s report into the Consolidated Fund for the 2010, 2011 and 2012 financial years.

The commission has also established a Facebook page.

The commission’s chairman, Sir Anthony Evans, reiterated the commitment to a fair, transparent and objective process.

“The simple website and Facebook page we have established will give the Bermuda community the information they need to understand the manner in which we are conducting our investigation,” he said. “We understand that there may be persons who would like to submit information to us by phone and we have featured our confidential hotline prominently on the website and Facebook page.

“We urge its use by those who feel they may have something of relevance to contribute.”

Sir Anthony is an international jurist and former Bermuda Court of Appeal judge. The other commission members are lawyer and former MP John Barritt, businesswoman Fiona Luck and businessman Kumi Bradshaw.
