You also raised another issue, and I think I'd like to ask the RCMP about this.
Mr. Pile, the Auditor General wrote that there was a drawdown on the zero balance account on a daily basis and there was no verification. In her paragraph, she notes the payment was made “before its staff could review the supporting documentation to ensure that payments have been made to valid parties and that they are consistent with the policies on relocation”.
If you do not give adequate time to your staff or whoever is supposed to look at it, how do you verify that the amount paid is accurate, that the work has been done, and that it is within the terms in the contract?
