But a federal audit released yesterday suggests that that is exactly what happened.

According to a legislative audit released last week, the Brewers have lost a net aggregate of $38.9 million the last six years.

About $3.2 million was spent to design one, according to an audit released on June 23 by the city comptroller.

The audit, being released today, covers a 17-month period ending in May 1986.

But an internal audit released on Wednesday concluded that the department had fundamentally failed to follow its own advice.

An audit released last week recommended renegotiating the $26 per inspection that Parsons is paid.

The audits released last week did not question the legality of using money from the fund, but criticized accounting and reporting procedures.

She said the audit released yesterday did not give numbers on how many custodians hired relatives for their staff.

The audit released yesterday was conducted to determine whether recommendations made to curb the nepotism found earlier had been adopted.

A state comptroller's audit released in 1997 found that it lost $46.9 million since 1980.
