Larry Dennis. Heather Jacobs Matthews. Heather Thomas. You have only to mention their names and people immediately know who and what you are talking about. Their messages as auditors-general has been nothing but consistent. Sadly, however, their ann...

Dear Sir, On August 6, 2021, this newspaper reported some damning statements from our Auditor-General, Heather Thomas, regarding the grossly inadequate and overdue financial reporting by many government entities. This should come as no surprise to an...
