Calls for investigation into Alabama board operations
Date postedOctober 29, 2024
Alabama lawmakers have requested the state Attorney General to investigate Smith Warren Management, a firm overseeing multiple occupational licensing boards, following an audit of the Alabama Board of Electrical Contractors. Allegations include unauthorized billing for additional personnel, undocumented expenses, and an unapproved vehicle purchase. Lawmakers claim the firm's actions may constitute potential fraud or ethics violations, while the firm maintains that financial data shared with the board was accurate. The Attorney General’s office has not confirmed if it will open an investigation.
