Mr Key
Four years ago I rightfully questioned a situation in Waitakere city where by a public servant was contracting to himself. As a result I was sued to keep me quite .
Just recently I questioned the definition of fraud used by the audit office I was advised that this definition was Fraud – an intentional act by one or more individuals among management, those charged with governance, employees, or third parties, involving the use of deception to obtain an unjust or illegal advantage.emails audit NZ
I have a situation which involves exactly that yet when I raised questions about this matter with the local body concerned I was sued by the council manager who used the charitable funds of the no existent entity which contracted to the local body to silence me. This appears to have been a very effective move because the office of the auditor General has told me they would not touch it because I have been sued.
It appears to me that New Zealand is a breeding ground for fraud because no one can safely question it and the audit services which should protect us from this misuse of public funds and resources do nothing to stop it.
The ombudsmen are likewise useless and every so called public watch dog we have turns a blind eye.
It appears that audit NZ and the office of the auditor general can be selective about what they audit and can turn a blind eye to what is clearly fraud by their own definition. When those charged with public duty fail to perform the propensity for fraud will only increase please look at this clip of a congressman reprimanding government servants for their inaptitude. New Zealand is no different.
I find it ironic that on the audit NZ web site it is stated “It’s our job to help public sector organisations have better financial and non-financial management.” And
Independent audits play an essential role in the stewardship of public resources and corporate governance of public services. I agree so why is there no independent audit of the contract which Waitakere city has with AWINZ for the provision of animal welfare services. This contract is controlled by the by the manager animal welfare is to himself as CEO of an organisation which had no proof of existence beyond a trading name for himself . mou waitakere.pdf and has never been sanctioned by full council
On a further page there is the claim Our core strengths are in providing assurance over contract management, tendering and procurement processes, project management, and asset management planning. We have a depth of experience and capability in these areas. Why could contracts with local and central government ( MAF) be granted in circumstances which lack transparency and integrity and why is audit NZ not interested in investigating even to ensure that these tactics are not used again in the future. mou MAF.pdf,
On a further page it states Following good practice will help to ensure that your contracting is successful and that your organisation’s integrity is maintained. I have to question what good practice is when there is no verification in a process to ensure that he contracting party exists and is not a council l officer acting in a different guise. And what is good practice when a manger of a council division can write for an on behalf of two councils offering the voluntary use of the staff they supervise to outside organisation during their paid employment. didovich to maf north shore.pdf didovich to maf waitak.pdf 5 jan 2000.pdf
And an another web page there is a statement You want your asset management planning to allow your assets to be managed effectively and efficiently in support of your key services. Audit NZ and the auditor general therefore condone the existence and operation of a third party organisation on the premises of council using plant, equipment, resources and vehicles to further their own business goals . So where are our standards? See 8 may 2000 wells.pdf
By turning a blind eye to the animal welfare institute of New Zealand fiasco are we condoning this type of fraud? And condoning the use of public resources for private pecuniary gain?
Is the office of the auditor general and audit NZ are proving that they are negligent and do not do the work which they are supposed to do. Who will audit the auditors?
And Why don’t we verify anything we are so trusting or is that ignorant? New Zealand is on its way to be the most corrupt country in the world we have a very good strategy to keep us up there in the least corrupt stakes by denial and the placement of many brick walls which are intent to make those who question give up.
