AGO Audit of AHPETC: When their words and their actions do not match



Workers' Party says the right thing but does something else different. You see this in the AGO's audit of the financial statements of their town council. 

When Finance Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam directed the AGO to do an audit of AHPETC's accounts, Sylvia Lim assured the AGO of their full cooperation

What really happened in the process? Well, you read it right from the AGO's report.

Non-cooperation. 
Failure to provide all requested documents and information. 

AGO made repeated requests for the information but "notwithstanding numerous requests and reminders, AHPETC did not provide a number of the requested documents."

As a result, the AGO had to issue a formal letter to the chairman (Sylvia Lim) of AHPETC to provide the necessary information to the AGO and PwC. 

Even then, the AGO noted that a significant number of the documents were not provided.
