What Happened?

Category: Financial ManagementIssue: Non-compliance

A section of the financial report lists pending court cases and gives numbers that do not add up. It says there are 4,323 cases, 651 are finished, so 3,672 should still be pending, but it reports 2,701. This makes the financial note unreliable.
