Pan Trin­ba­go of­fi­cials were un­able to present au­dit­ed fi­nan­cial state­ments at the steel­band body’s An­nu­al Gen­er­al meet­ing yes­ter­day be­cause of an out­stand­ing debt of $640,000 owed to its au­di­tors. The AGM was held at the Queen’s Park Sa­van­nah.

This was the sec­ond con­sec­u­tive year au­dit­ed fi­nan­cial state­ments were not pre­sent­ed at the or­gan­i­sa­tion’s AGM.

The debt to PKF Char­tered Ac­coun­tants & Busi­ness Ad­vi­sors forms part of a $60 mil­lion debt the Bev­er­ley Ram­sey-Moore led Pan Trin­ba­go ex­ec­u­tive were faced with when they took of­fice. This bill has since been re­duced by $18 mil­lion.

Trea­sur­er Ger­ard Mendez re­port­ed that mon­ey was owed to steel­bands, lawyers, staff and ser­vice providers, in­clud­ing au­di­tors.

  • How could they be owing auditors, when they promise to pay panmen.....soon...enough. H E L P!!

  • PT has an executive with no experience in running a million dollar company with millions of dollars in debt,

    What do you expect...donkeys in a horse race!

  • Forward Ever, Backward Never!!!

    • Forward Ever??

      • Yeah, we know how difficult it is for some to envision forward, when they only see backward, pity... 

        • ... especially when you are LOOKING BACKWARD at SIXTY MILLION in DEBT that you promised to ERASE ... how yuh go look FORWARD

          • All yuh just a bunch of nay-sayers, diaz allm yuh know.  The debt is going down, but all yuh cyar see anything positive bout dat, considering the heavy debt hell they inherited from the corrupt regime that was way over what that regime had disclosed.  You'd raher the same bunch of corrupt idiots that were there before, remain in charge, or maybe yuh friends and dem be in charge to get your chance at the Pig Trough.  Srure glad is not you geniarses running things, lol...

              That is a MEANINGLESS SENTENCE. She had a chance to show the BREAKDOWN and convince the NON-SHEEP ... and she make all KINDA EXCUSES.

              I am taking your advice and LOOKING FORWARD to MAKING THE PRESIDENT demand the RESIGNATION of the VEE PEE.

              STAY TUNED!!!
