In this final report, KPMG has confirmed that it is reasonably satisfied AHTC is compliant with section 35(c) of the Town Council Act and that all audit points and control-related matters identified for resolution by KPMG have been resolved.





The Members of Parliament (MPs) of AHTC and all Town Councillors extend their sincere gratitude to the General Manager, Head of Corporate Services, Head of Finance and all Finance staff, and Heads of Departments of AHTC for their tireless efforts in attending to and resolving all the issues identified by KPMG, including the implementation of new controls and procedures, amongst other significant work.





In addition, AHTC’s new Town Council Financial System is now fully operational. AHTC has also appointed an internal auditor to stress-test the Town Council’s controls and procedures including, but not limited to the new financial system and procurement matters on an on-going basis over the next two years.
