Below follows a statement from the Gibraltar Parliament:

The Hon the Chief Minister has given notice on 17th July 2025 that he proposes to move the following Motion at the next Meeting of Parliament

“THIS HOUSE: CONSIDERS that the Principal Auditor's Report for Financial Year 2018 / 2019 fails, in many material respects, in both form and substance, to conform to standards of independence and objectivity; 

FURTHER CONSIDERS THAT the said report contains material errors that reflect both (a) a lack of competence in its finalisation by the former Principal Auditor, and (b) that it has been presented in a manner that is designed to be politically biased against the political parties that make up the Government and to align with the policies of the Opposition in a manner that is outside the bounds of an Auditor's report thereby further illustrating a failure ofindependence and objectivity;

CONCLUDES THAT, as a result, such transparent bias significantly and completely compromises the accuracy and reliability of the Report and significantly constrains and limits of any reliance that this House can place on it; AND THEREFORE rejects the criticism of the Government contained therein and the Report itself as not being in keeping with the rigour, objectivity and independence required Constitutionally from a Principal Auditor's Report.”
