'No official audit of Tourist Board done' - Premier Smith
The Premier said this in response to reporters' questions regarding his promise some time back that an official audit of BVITB which falls directly under his portfolio would have been done. The audit should have been done to date back to a number of past years.
“But there has not been an official audit such as done by the Auditor General to be published in the House of Assembly but an internal audit has been carried out so that they could restructure,” he said.
He noted however given the fact that the audits done were internal findings therein cannot and will not be made public.
“The internal audit is done on a regular basis throughout government,” he also said. "Those audits are meant to correct any deficiencies to make sure that the departments are doing the right thing and make sure that the processes are correct,” he further stated.
The spending of the BVITB especially in the area of travelling has always and continues to be shut out from the public and has over the years been an area of expressed concern.

No matter how moonlight run, day light will catch it!
This is one of the things that this entire electorate is guilty of, they think they can do what they want in government, violate laws, treat people how they want and no one should say anything about it, nor that they should not be held accountable for their actions. It's time to get rid of this type of mentality; let's amend our constitution and set up the type of government that is functional and one that we can be proud off, time for a change.
