Audit This
Something goes wrong. Money disappears, or a project blows out, or a claim turns
out not to be true. And there is always a moment, somewhere back down the line,
where a person was supposed to be checking.
Audit This finds that moment.
One story an episode, followed all the way to the end of it. Frauds, collapses,
cost blowouts, contracts, cover ups, and the occasional thing that everybody
accepted as true because nobody went and looked.
Every episode is built from the record: court transcripts, sentencing remarks,
corruption commission findings, Hansard, auditor general reports, annual reports,
contracts, and the documents that were sitting in plain sight the whole time.
No speculation. No dramatisation. No guessing at what anyone was thinking. Just
the paperwork, read out loud, in the order it happened.
