The Committee say the breakdown in communication between JerseyBus, the Public Services Committee of the day and the people delegated by the committee to review JerseyBus accounts ‘could have been avoided if the parties involved had checked with each other to ensure necessary information reached its proper destination’.
‘This lack of communication had severe repercussions insofar as it generated an unwarranted mistrust in the financial credibility and reported profitability of JerseyBus,’ said the final report.
The Committee of Inquiry put the role in the affair of States Treasurer Ian Black under the microscope as he reviewed draft accounting information of JerseyBus in 1999 and concluded he had no confidence in what was provided.
