Chapter 2: Cover Up of Whistleblower
IN THIS LESSON
The Department of Legislative Audit.
Department of Legislative Audit audits most SD agencies for the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report for the State of South Dakota.
Renae reports the incident to Dept. of Legislative Audit June 23 to make sure it is dealt with in the FY25 audit as Fiscal Year end is June 30.
Russ Olson confirms they received the report and they will let the AG lead on what to do next.
Issued clean audit for FY25 in September with no further communications.
At least they say several times in the FY 25 report that they don’t look for Internal Control issues. And apparently, even if a whistleblower reports to them directly, they still aren’t going to look.
If this is the quality of Leg. Audit work, how long has it been since any agency in the state of South Dakota has been “effectively” audited?
Is South Dakota really a AAA credit rating?
Nightmare fuel for bond investors.
