All ccc chairman will b tasked over certain government bodies like a guarddog for the resspective minister which can b cross ministry. Which in reality promote acrimony then meritocracy as they sort to protect their own interest, their ministers, gang and remain uncommitted uninterested n unmotivated over the work process. With these political appointees the works flow becomes more bureaucratic less productive as bigger dogs will bark n mail the smaller ones

[h=2]AGO flags lapses at govt bodies[/h]
A LACK of transparency in transactions between related parties at government bodies like the People's Association (PA) was flagged by the Auditor-General's Office (AGO) yesterday.
Such transactions, involving substantial sums of money, were not carried out at arm's length and were effectively hidden subsidies for related parties, as they were either charged below market rate or not charged at all, said Auditor-General Willie Tan in the AGO's annual report.
At PA, Institute of Technical Education and Singapore Polytechnic, the AGO found inadequate management of conflicts of interest in related party transactions.
The 72-page report on the accounts of all ministries and 13 statutory boards also found that a number of public agencies had been lax in the way they administered grants and handled tenders for contracts and purchases.
The National Library Board (NLB) was rapped for the way it procured electronic resources such as e-books and databases.
Mr Tan noted that in all seven cases of procurement, the AGO could find no documentary evidence of why NLB had chosen one vendor over another. Its subscription to an e-resource was also renewed twice, even though its evaluators had recommended termination, and NLB's own guidelines found usage too low to justify renewal.
The Ministry of Communications and Information has referred the matter to police for further investigation.
Checks by the AGO also found that managers of the $1-billion Gardens by the Bay project had awarded over $20 million in contracts through a waiver of competition, without compelling reasons.
The National Parks Board (NParks) cited a tight timeline as the main reason for the waiver, but there was no evidence that the tight timeline was caused by unforeseen events, said the AGO.
"Among other things, NParks had breached the government procurement principle of open and fair competition for consultancy services contracts, and there was no assurance that value for money was achieved for the services procured," the AGO concluded.
NParks has acknowledged that it should have called for an open tender instead.
The AGO audits a selective sample of accounts and not all of them. Although ministries are audited yearly, statutory boards come under scrutiny rotationally.
The annual report, therefore, does not reflect the general state of administration in the bodies audited. Instead, it highlights areas where they can improve, said the AGO.

Re: Natonal Library Corruption Caught, someone going to prison?
That explains a dire lack of quality books in the NLB libraries. Sometimes the book you want to borrow can only be found in only one library.
Yeah you NLB fucktards... you're more concerned with your LKY tribute kiosks, SEA Games 2015 cardboard sculpture and SG50 crap. :kma:

[h=2]Admiralty CCC 'gave full cooperation' in probe[/h]
WONG SIEW YING
THE Auditor-General's Office (AGO), in its report released yesterday, flagged several lapses and instances where procurement rules were not complied with at various grassroots organisations under the purview of the People's Association (PA).
In its audit carried out for financial year 2014/2015, the AGO found irregularities in procurement and payment at Admiralty Citizens' Consultative Committee (CCC).
The AGO did not name the CCC in its report, but National Development Minister Khaw Boon Wan, in his capacity as an MP for Sembawang GRC, said that Admiralty CCC cooperated fully with the PA Investigation Panel.
"We treated the AGO finding seriously. The Admiralty CCC fully cooperated with the PA Investigation Panel," Mr Khaw said.
He added that the MP in charge of Admiralty ward, Vikram Nair, told him that the grassroots leader involved had stepped down to facilitate a full investigation.
PA said in a separate statement that the panel had been convened on July 1 to establish the facts and investigate any wrongdoing, as well as review its processes.
The CCC chairman voluntarily stepped down on July 5 and the investigation was completed on July 14.
"I am glad that the Investigation Panel found no evidence of dishonesty. Nonetheless, it was a related party transaction that was not declared," Mr Khaw said.
"The CCC will study the investigation report, and review its procedures to ensure that such lapses do not recur," he added.
Among these lapses, the CCC chairman was found to have approved his own claims, amounting to $114,767, on seven occasions. The AGO said in its report: "This is a clear conflict of roles as the approver of payments should not be approving his own claims."
It added that there was no supporting document for three of the payments, and approving them this way exposes the CCC to the risk of paying for "invalid expenditure".
The CCC was also guilty of other lapses in management of related party transactions and did not manage conflicts of interest adequately.
Citing two cases, the AGO said the chairman was involved in approving the awards of two contracts worth $32,000 and corresponding payments to a company where he held a senior management position.
In one of the contracts, another CCC member who took part in the approval process was both a director and shareholder of the company. In addition, the chairman also approved payment for a $1,500 purchase from another company where he was a director and shareholder.
"The chairman and the CCC member did not declare their interests in the transactions. As a result, there was no assurance that the transactions were conducted at arm's length," the AGO report said.
In its statement, PA said the Investigation Panel verified that all quotations for works and services were handled by the staff in a confidential manner.
The bids were then submitted to the CCC for evaluation and the tender was awarded to the lowest bidder, which was about 30 per cent lower than the next lowest bid. These tender procedures were in accordance with the rules.
"However, the CCC chairman and a CCC member were related to the company which submitted the bids, which were also the lowest and winning bids in both cases. According to the rules, the CCC chairman should have declared his interest and excused himself from the evaluation and approval process. Likewise, although the CCC member did not know beforehand that the bid from his company would be presented at the meeting for approval, he should have excused himself when he realised it," PA said.
"Regarding approval of own claims, the Panel noted that the amounts claimed by the CCC chairman were subsequently verified by supporting documents. However, the staff responsible for preparing the payments should have been more conscientious in ensuring compliance with the financial rules by requiring that the vice-chairman, secretary or treasurer approve the claims instead of the CCC chairman himself."
