Former Chairman of the Board of the National Insurance Scheme (NIS) Dr Roger Luncheon has committed to providing a comprehensive response to the published results of the forensic audit of the scheme in a week’s time.
“I am prepared to do what is professionally responsible but I have not been invited to respond. It is the responsibility of the auditor and or the authority that committed to having a forensic audit to have the principals respond to a draft before a finalised report is filed. Inviting comments from the principals allows for correction of misrepresentations. I have not been given official access to the report and will not respond to what I’ve seen in the newspapers until I can verify the information,” Luncheon told Stabroek News.
