"Close to $ 4 mil­lion was paid out by Pan Trin­ba­go to FCL Fi­nan­cial Ltd and its CEO Daniel Lam­bert over a three-year pe­ri­od with bare­ly any pa­per trail found by au­di­tors to jus­ti­fy these mam­moth pay­ments or any sem­blance of a for­mal agree­ment."

    But the as­tound­ing fi­nan­cial ir­reg­u­lar­i­ties did not end there as Ernst and Young said, “Cheque pay­ment vouch­ers were not seen for over 50 pay­ments to­talling more than TT$4.7m,” and they were un­able to con­firm if these ex­pens­es were di­rect­ly re­lat­ed to the ICP.

    College boy already said it was D'Photo and Rolly Polly running the show.  So who why can't the gangtas go to jail?

    This more than a leadership issue. Time to shut it down!

    The au­di­tors no­ticed that for Panora­ma 2013 “there were five in­stances where cheques were com­plet­ed and signed off pri­or to the cheque pay­ment vouch­ers be­ing dat­ed and au­tho­rised, re­sult­ing in unau­tho­rised cheque pay­ments of prize monies to­talling TT$3.5m. There were al­so two in­stances where no date was seen on the vouch­er, hence we could not con­firm whether these pay­ments were au­tho­rised pri­or to the prepa­ra­tion of the cheque.”

    They al­so no­ticed a sim­i­lar trend for Panora­ma 2016. “There were five in­stances where the date record­ed on the gen­er­al ledger matched the cheque date, how­ev­er, the vouch­er was com­plet­ed a day af­ter the cheque was pre­pared. There was an­oth­er in­stance where a pay­ment was made to an in­di­vid­ual be­fore the vouch­er was pre­pared.

    Marcus Ash, did you read this and agree to stay silent and not inform the public?

    Ernst and Young not­ed that the lim­it on the over­draft fa­cil­i­ty was not doc­u­ment­ed in those min­utes, how­ev­er, in a sub­se­quent, meet­ing with the CEC, more than a year lat­er on Oc­to­ber 6, 2014, it was stat­ed:

    “The meet­ing was in­formed that the or­gan­i­sa­tion was able to ne­go­ti­ate an in­crease in the over­draft fa­cil­i­ty from the First Cit­i­zens Bank from $300,000 to $3 mil­lion.”

    Can someone from First Cit­i­zens Bank please explain what Pan Trinbago used as collateral to secure the loan or overdraft?

    "We not­ed a let­ter from the NCC to Pan Trin­ba­go, dat­ed Jan­u­ary 3, 2017, for an ad­vance pay­ment of TT$2,405,000. The let­ter stat­ed that the pur­pose of the pay­ment was: “Dis­burse­ment to Pan Trin­ba­go-East­ern Re­gion pan play­ers out­stand­ing re­mit­tance for 2016.”

    The let­ter fur­ther ad­vised: “The amount would be de­duct­ed from the al­lo­ca­tion for 2017 Panora­ma/Tick­et rev­enue.”

    Ernst and Young con­clud­ed in their re­port, “Based on this let­ter, it ap­pears that the East­ern Re­gion pan play­ers did not re­ceive their play­er’s re­mit­tance on time, ie in Sep­tem­ber/Oc­to­ber 2016. We were un­able to ver­i­fy why the as­so­ci­a­tion’s 2016 dis­burse­ments were not utilised to pay the East­ern Re­gion, pan play­ers.”

    Calling on Mr. Joseph, the former PRO of Pan Trinbago,  to give an explanation of the above findings right here on the WST forum.

    When WE at WHEN STEEL TALKS were COMPLAINING BITTERLY (for years) about CORRUPTION IN PAN TRINBAGO -- where was MARK BASSANT and all these other CONCERNED REPORTERS?

    Right now ah have ah REAL CONCUSSION -- to the extent that I have to go back and REPLAY THE TAPE. Because for years I thought that MERRYTONESTOTHEBONE was LYING -- until I hear KENNY PHILLIPS (a BEVERLEY DISCIPLE) say tonight that THE SAME PLAYERS was PLAYING in BAND AFTER BAND in the ALL YEAR 2020 SINGLE PAN PANORAMA.

    So BEVERLEY (and T&T SOCCER -- when dey go FIRE THAT COACH) had a REAL BAD DAY TODAY. But she so big in her OWN MIND that she CAN DO NO WRONG. And I thought DONALD TRUMP WAS BAD!!!

    Anyway, let me focus on my NEXT ISSUE: REMOVING THE VICE PRESIDENT FROM OFFICE for CORRUPTION!!!

    Ah sure DEM GUARDIAN REPORTERS doh have the INSIDE TRACK on me on THAT STORY -- and I doh even LIVE IN TRINIDAD!!!

    Come on GREGORY LINDSAY -- yuh either ON THE UPPI TEAM or yuh KISSING UP for a BOAT RIDE TO TOBAGO.

    Make up YUH MIND!!!

    PART 1 and PART 2 and DEY EH SAY NOTHING NEW YET.

    If they really want to GET CURRENT: LEH WE TALK ABOUT THE VEE PEE!!!

    Ah sworn to secrecy -- so I cyar tell THE STORY!!!
