STATEMENT OF MAYOR ANTHONY A. WILLIAMS ON CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER VALERJE HOLT
"Since I appointed Valerie Holt as our Chief Financial Officer, my office has been
working supportively and cooperatively with her. We continue to work closely with her
staff to complete this audit.
"However, I share many of the Council's concerns about the timeliness of the
District of Columbia's audit. Failure to produce the annual audit on schedule may cost
taxpayers money, endanger service delivery, and, possibly, jeopardize ourjoumey back to
normal government. The Chief Financial Officer must be held accountable for delivering an
accurate audit on schedule."
