Was to look into actions of CA who audited Clarington candidate's election spending
Nov 18, 2008 - 02:38 PM
CLARINGTON -- A disciplinary hearing for the accountant who conducted an audit of former Clarington mayor John Mutton's election expenses has been postponed.
The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Ontario was to hold a discipline committee hearing Wednesday, Nov. 19, to consider charges brought against Mr. Horn by the institute. The charges related to the audit of Mr. Mutton's campaign expenses, conducted to look into allegations made by members of the public that the ex-mayor had over-spent during his campaign.
However, due to illness on the part of an institute staff member, the discipline committee hearing has been postponed, said Perry Jensen, the institute's director of media relations.
The matter will be subject to an assignment hearing, set for Dec. 1, at which time a date will be set for the discipline committee hearing, which will determine Mr. Horn's guilt or innocence on the charges against him.
The charges make a number of yet-unproven allegations, including that Mr. Horn "failed to perform an adequate or appropriate audit of campaign contributions" and "failed to appropriately disclose a scope limitation related to the audit of advertising expenses in his compliance audit report."
