Republican Sen. Larry Grooms, who led the investigation, said the comptroller general's office could also be "done away with altogether."

Reply to comment by ryanCrypt in South Carolina's comptroller quits after a $3.5 billion accounting error by kangarooturd
I once accidentally knocked out cell service for 4 hours. Had to open a splicing case and connect another house to the network and I broke a few fibers without noticing. That was a fun day at work. And before anyone asks, they were broke in the heat shrink so it was hard to see.

I agree. It seems like he knew exactly what to "miscount".

The title is a bit misleading because we are only talking about two very niche Hershey products. Special Dark and 85 percent cocao bars. Some people ITT seem to make the leap that it's the iconic milk chocolate bar.
Which makes sense, since that (the darkest varieties) is a less processed chocolate. Also, it being done in Africa, a place where leaded gas is still being used (until recently), means that it was likely absorbing it through the air as they dried out the beans.

You need some bricks? You have to wait two months between small loads while having access to large supplies of food and water that would presumably make excellent bricks. Also making the bricks reduces your physical capability to use the bricks.

>The Senate report concluded that Eckstrom was solely responsible for the mapping error, which happened during the state's transition to a new internal information system from 2011 to 2017. State officials testified that Eckstrom ignored auditors' yearslong warnings of a "material weakness" in his office and flawed cash reporting.
Not sure what the laws are for this; however, I'm guessing that criminal charges wouldn't be a stretch for mismanagement of public funds at this scale.
In a private company, I'm guessing a regulatory agency would be in your office the next day if this sort of accounting error was reported.
Any CPAs out there who could shed some light?

I wonder if it's the usual story of juniors doing the job, giving the report to senior people who never bother to check or control anything
