CPAs Gone Wild: State Auditor audits CMS… Hillarity Ensues
I haven’t gotten anything out on this because I’ve been either working on COTV or my paper, but this is absolutely hillarious…
The State Auditor issued his audit of CMS (the central purchasing and contracting agency for the state of Illinois) and ranked the agency at “slightly above sinister”. Massive corruption, fraud, missing paperwork, conflict of interest, money grabbing, and other tomfoolery was found, pointing straight up to Rod.
Capitol Fax (articles all over the place), Peoria Pundit, ArchPundit, ILPundit and others are all over it.
The hillarity includes CMS trying to audit the auditor, trying to impugn the integrity of the auditors office and accuse them of being partisan (note: the auditor is a Democrat, the same party as the Governor. The auditor is about the only Illinois politician that has an integrity and is KNOWN for it, and CMS went after him anyway), making claims that aren’t true because the people involved weren’t there.
For best quote in an audit (Runman is the Director of CMS):
We’re puzzled as to how Director Rumman could have had a discussion with the auditors at the entrance conference about unsubstantiated media allegations when, in fact, Director Rumman did not attend the entrance conference. Furthermore, no auditor in attendance could have been “slightly embarrassed” by a point that was not made by a person who was not there.
