Trading Standards accounts gap doubles
You may recall that a while back, the Serious Fraud Office opened an investigation into the
South Yorkshire Trading Standards Unit after £7m was found to be missing from its accounts.
The BBC is now reporting that the true amount is a tad more - more like £14m.
This affair comes hot on the heels of a Private Eye article claiming that Sheffield LEA officers
attempted to plug budget holes with charity money (Sheffield Forum thread).
All of which speaks volumes about Labour's attitude to financial scrutiny in Sheffield.
