Lapses

Lack of transparency in transactions between related parties at government bodies like the People's Association was flagged by the Auditor-General's Office (AGO) on Wednesday. 

At the PA, the Institute of Technical Education and Singapore Polytechnic, the AGO found inadequate management of conflicts of interest in related party transactions. 

The National Library Board (NLB) was rapped for the way it procured electronic resources such as ebooks and databases.
