Key Findings

- Although the stated audit period ran from October 2007 to September 2014, documents from March 2007 to 12 January 2010 were buried under earthquake debris, so the audit covered 13 January 2010 to September 2014.
- The verification commission was created by CSCCA on 20 April 2015.
- The commission reviewed financial reports, bank statements, disbursement slips, accounting registers and inventory of movable and immovable property.
