Department of Taxation took ‘unprecedented’ action to hinder critical audit

Ian Lind blogs that a second end-of-the-year report by the State Auditor charges the Department of Taxation of taking “unprecedented” steps to block or delay the auditor’s access to information and hinder the overall audit process:

“The question now, it seems to me, is whether there are any consequences for those who went out of their way, perhaps even acting illegally, to block or delay these audits.”
