(Barbados Nation) The integrity of the Clico International Life judicial management team has been called into question days after the damning results of a forensic audit by Deloitte Canada were made public.
Allegations circulated by email yesterday from Government Senator Peter Gilkes said that Patrick Toppin of Deloitte Consulting should have recused himself from the CLICO judicial management team because he was a former employee of CLICO until he was “dismissed” by the company under Leroy Parris’ management.
The email also stated that Toppin and Parris had been involved in a subsequent “legal battle”.
But in a strongly worded letter sent to the WEEKEND NATION last night by its lawyers, Deloitte hit back and warned of possible legal action in the face of what it called “baseless and scurrilous allegations”.
