Audit Commission
1st Floor, Fry Building
2 Marsham Street
London, SW1P 4DF

Dear Sir

I wish to report internal and external audit fraud at the Devon County Council (DCC).
In particular, the DCC have not included the public purse costs for the DCC legal fees in their legal pursuit of FOIA cases and in particular two FOIA cases Dransfield v ICO and DCC which have been subject to large costs for several years. Whether or not the DCC have included such costs for previous years I know not, but I will be going through their Fiscal Audit Reports since 2009.
My allegations are levelled at the latest audit report of period 2013/14 which I claim have been subject to serious fraud and deception, with the full knowledge of the CEO and Board of Governors.

I believe the DCC internal and external auditors are deliberately hiding these costs as part of a wider conspiracy by the DCC to pervert the course of justice.

For your information, action and files
With thanks

Yours sincerely

Alan M Dransfield

Audit irregularities

Dear Mr Bradshaw

There is evidence on the DCC records of fiscal mismanagement and auditing irregularities and I would be most grateful if you would raise this with the appropriate government authorities, or at least point me in the right direction for the appropriate oversight authorities.

In accordance with the approved audit report from the DCC for 2013/14, they did not spend one single penny on FOIA legal cases, which I do state is a false declaration.
I make this statement with confidence because the Express and Echo recently were informed that the DCC had spent £22 thousand in the last four (4) years on two of my cases alone.

This is quite clearly misrepresentation and mismanagement of fiscal audits by internal and external auditors at the Devon County Council

For your information, action and files.

With thanks

Yours sincerely

Alan M Dransfield
