Full TNRD audit reveals former CAO Gill’s spending habits for many years
KAMLOOPS — From expenses without itemized receipts to purchases for friends and family, and even accepting vacations from a Thompson Nicola Regional District (TNRD) contractor, former CAO Sukh Gill seemingly did it all, according to an audit conducted by BDO Canada.
In the full audit released Monday (Jan. 24) by TNRD, it details the more than $750,000 of expenses from Gill, including an instance at Nandi’s Flavours of India where Gill increased the bill from $12,000 to $20,000 with no explanation.
“There were quite a few things that stood out to me — not in a good way,” TNRD Vice-Chair Barbara Roden says. “I think one of the things that really surprised me was a lack of itemization on receipts… I’m not an accountant, but just seeing something as simple as that appears not to have been done was very, very frightening.”
