Acknowledgements and Appreciation
28th July, 2021Last year (2020) was challenging with work being delayed primarily due to inaccessibility to information, documents, and personnel, all of which were forced by the COVID-19 related national shutdowns/lockdowns.
I am grateful for all assistance provided to my staff during the conduct of the various audit assignments and thus extend heartfelt thanks to the staff of the Treasury Department, all Accounting Officers and the staff of their Ministries/Departments, the staff of Statutory bodies and other organisations.
I am also grateful to Miss Florence Lee, former Auditor General, for her 42 years of dedicated service spent within the Montserrat Public Service, but more particularly for the service rendered in the management of the Office of the Auditor General over the past two decades; her guidance given to our audit staff; her input into the audit work; and her help in the drafting of this audit report but who demitted office before this final report was completed. Thanks, Miss Lee.
Additionally, I am grateful to the OAG staff for rising to the challenges and for performing the audit work to a high standard. I, therefore, take this opportunity to say thank you for your hard work and dedication despite the many challenges encountered during this fiscal year.
Marsha V E Meade
Acting Auditor General
