Treasury audit evidence

Audit opinions concern reporting and compliance. They do not certify service quality. Treasury opinions remain a separate source; differing labels are never silently replaced.

Creditor figures are withheld where source reliability or audit status prevents interpretation. Irregular expenditure is not automatically evidence of theft. Monetary expenditure balances are not published until their source mapping is verified.
