Atlanta audit found little oversight in spending of top official
A forensic audit of spending by a top city official under then Mayor Kasim Reed found Atlanta's spending culture akin to the wild west with little or no oversight. Auditors found former chief financial officer Jim Beard could easily side-step the rules when using his city credit card to purchase guns and expensive travel. Senior I-Team reporter Dale Russell has reported on Beard's credit card use before and has now examined the newly released audit.
