Events at the Audit Bureau have thus far largely sailed under the radar, but they are vitally important. The Audit Bureau is vital as a check (though of course not a solution) on mounting corruption across the board. An eviscerated AB would mean open season for kleptocrats
Yesterday I added a brief item in our newsletter about an alarming development involving Libya's Audit Bureau, which threatens to plunge the unstable country further into crisis.
