An analyst and an auditor comment on David Cunliffe’s timesheet

Whale

I haven’t been following the DC thing too closely so my observation might be counter to reality. But, you might like to look at the billable hours a bit more closely.

There are 8 entries relating to fonterra, for a total of 1104.5 hrs. Each has a different code and descriptor, indicating a discrete engagement. Of the 8 descriptors, only 3 seem to resemble reorganisation, for a total of 262.5 hrs or 32 days. The rest is audit or other projects. Is that really credible?

The timesheet also shows a total of 4128 hrs between dec 95 and july 99. Theres about 6640 billable hrs in that time. So what did he do for about 314 days while on the payroll?

Apologies if my math is wrong – I’m doing this on the train. On the surface it just doesn’t look right, and my day job is to look for oddities in plain sight

Why is Cunners charging for a 1998 audit on 4th January 1998.

As a retired auditor, I’m sure any audits I was involved with would not have incurred any charges before the event!

Cameron Slater

As much at home writing editorials as being the subject of them, Cam has won awards, including the Canon Media Award for his work on the Len Brown/Bevan Chuang story.  And when he’s not creating the news, he tends to be in it, with protagonists using the courts, media and social media to deliver financial as well as death threats.

They say that news is something that someone, somewhere, wants kept quiet.   Cam Slater doesn’t do quiet, and as a result he is a polarising, controversial but highly effective journalist that takes no prisoners.

He is fearless in his pursuit of a story.

Love him or loathe him.  But you can’t ignore him.
