With record keeping having been identified as one of the challenges facing accounting agencies, Public Accounts Committee (PAC) chairman, Jermaine Figueira, has recommended to the Region Three Regional Democratic Council (RDC) that they commence digital record-keeping.
Figueira made the comments at Wednesday’s sitting of the PAC when the RDC appeared before the accounting body to answer questions from the 2017 and 2018 Auditor General’s (AG) report.
The chairman’s recommendation was made after questions were posed to the Regional Executive Officer (REO), Jagnarine Somwar, as to why contract documents were not submitted to auditors and what new systems they have in place for record keeping.
