Forensic Audit Panel: Interim Report Published
It's up on the GLA website and my profound first response is, er, is that it? I mean, there's hardly anything there. I've had a skim but will reserve further judgement for now because roast potatoes don't baste themselves. Someone else has had a closer look, though.
I can't believe this bizarrely short report/press release/crib sheet took them a month. As the analysis you link to says, the billing in the press ("horrifying" results etc) does not in any way match up to what is here. Basically it says, Ken was well within his rights to influence where funding went, but Boris will be doing things differently. As for the claims about money going missing, there is nothing new here and there is much much less detail than the original Gilligan stories. I'm not quite sure where the 'forensic' part to this is. It just looks like a report on how the LDA could be better managed. Which is fine, but not what it was billed as.
My interim verdict: must try harder.
