Facts of the Case
Background
Three auditors employed by the Ministry of Justice were dismissed for allegedly pre-auditing and certifying expenditure vouchers containing irregularities that prejudiced the State of US$1,769,504.53. The auditors appealed against their dismissal, arguing they followed the pre-audit checklist and their role did not include certification of documents.
