Adelaide Brighton in legal case over missing millions

25 September 2018

Australia: Adelaide Brighton is seeking damages from a former credit manager over US$9m in missing funds. The cement producer has accused former employee Glenda Ivy Burgess of the embezzlement following an internal audit, according to the Advertiser newspaper. Burgess worked for Adelaide Brighton for 18 years but was dismissed in February 2018.

The allegations include misallocating customer payments, falsifying accounts, increasing customer credit limits without authority and providing false information.

The construction company launched a civil lawsuit against Burgess at the same time that a police investigation was ongoing. This has subsequently led to a clash between civil and criminal proceedings as the accused successfully petitioned the Supreme Court to delay the civil case whilst the criminal investigation continues.

CRH audit put out to tender

11 September 2018

Ireland: An Euro22bn audit of CRH has been put out to tender, as mandatory rotation rules require it to replace incumbent EY. The move was announced in CRH's 2017 annual report, which said EY would have to be replaced by 2021 in order to comply with European Union (EU) rules designed to increase the independence of auditors.

Ireland has adopted a strict interpretation of the EU rules by requiring financial institutions and listed companies to replace auditors every 10 years. This contrasts with the UK's more liberal regime, which only requires audits to be put out to tender every 10 years, leaving companies free to reappoint their existing auditors. EY is based in the UK. It is possible that CRH may be seeking to reappoint a non-UK firm prior to the UK’s departure from the EU on 29 March 2019.

Government auditor criticises Jammu and Kashmir Cements for allowing contractor to abandon cement plant project

30 January 2017

India: The Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG) has criticised the management of Jammu and Kashmir Cements for allowing a contractor to abandon a contract to upgrade a cement plant without incurring a financial penalty. The subsequent reduction in production between 2010 and 2014 led the plant to loose an estimated US$5.6m, according to a report seen by the Early Times newspaper.

Engineering contactor Promac Engineering Industries was originally awarded a US$10.5m contact to upgrade the plant in 2005. Work started in June 2006 but the contractor left the site in 2010. The original terms of the agreement required Promac to complete the upgrade within 26 months and pay a financial penalty if the plant’s production capacity fell, if any increase in power or fuel consumption occurred or if the contract was delayed. Additionally, a packing plant that was built as part of the contract remained unused until 2015.

Financial irregularities reported by audit of China Resources

23 June 2014

China: China's state auditor said that it has found irregularities in the operations of China Resources, including the misuse of funds, the use of an improper bidding procedure and failure to seek government approval for a merger. The audit results came after the government started investigating the activities of several former executives of the group.

An audit of China Resources' 2012 financial statements showed that China Resources Power Holdings Co didn't conduct public bidding for 586 projects it awarded that were valued at US$1.9bn. Instead, it had invited specific bidders to decide on contractors and service providers, according to the National Audit Office. Moreover, five power-generating facilities of China Resources Power were allegedly constructed or put into operation in 2012 without government approval. The facilities had power sales of US$45.4m in 2012.

Similarly, a US$28.1m merger involving China Resources Cement Holdings was made in 2012 without government assessment or approval. The audit also found that US$209m raised by two trust products that was intended to boost liquidity at the trust company was instead invested in property development by the borrowers. In 2012, the group and its affiliated units allegedly spent US$338,863 playing golf.
