Assuming Mr Basavaraj Itnaal got his facts right in this Deccan Herald news story, what does it say? Thats why we keep saying - proactive disclosure is a must. Do nothing else BBMP, just do this. Just put details of all your activities - planned expense, actual expense, receipts reports - on your pubilc website.
Refer Biscuits for Rs 50,000 on BBMPs gravy train By Basavaraj Itnaal, DH News Service, Bangalore. One snippet:
The venue is used by many theatre troupes which pay Rs 2,500 as rental for half a day plus Rs 2000 as refundable deposit but the PRO shows Rs 8,810 as rental and a whopping Rs 35,000 for floral decoration of the stage plus Rs 7,500 for the carpet on the dais.
Is it possible to audit ...
... each and every expense BBMP (and other local bodies) make? What is the average auditor "hit rate"? 1 in 10 expense reports? Also do the auditors pick only big money expenses for auditing?
Basically, whats the system of checks and balances on expenses by BBMP et al? Does anyone know this well?
