My assessment of how you manage resources has been adversely affected
primarily by shortcomings in treasury management and the delivery of the capital
programme.
• Failings in treasury management highlighted by investments in Icelandic
banks led to a Public Interest Report that highlighted serious deficiencies in
your internal control arrangements. My use of resources work identified
concerns about the way your finances have been managed.
• There was a lack of realism in your approved capital programme which again
had to be subject of significant re-profiling early in the year and yet was

I contacted your officers ( See enc ) on many occasions trying to understand these things. As you can see, I first brought it to the attention of my council.
My question,
1 Whos fault is it that this kept accruing after I pointed it out.
1.1 Our council inner unelected ( monitoring officer, leader, 151 officer + minions )
1.2 District Auditor
1.3 The poor people of north east Lincolnshire
1.4 The councils ward councillors
1.5 someone else
Who’s fault that this was started .
1.1 The legal team and inner executive ( 2003-2004 )
1.2 The legal team and inner executive ( 2003-2004 )
1.3 The legal team and inner executive ( 2003-2004 )
1.4 The Audit commission
1.5 Someone else
1.6 The people of north east Lincolnshire.
What mechanisms stopped this being sorted out when I first pointed it out
1.1 Your legal constraint/ contractual obligations/ legislation
1.2 The interface between my councils figures and you ( Monitoring officer , 151 officer )
1.3 Incorrect figures presented to you.
1.4 Something else
Who was responsible in our council for loosing our money on various projects but lets start with the

debarkel 7million )
Is it.

council constitution. ) ( as am sure you understand we have a special executive arraignments
