	ottawasun.com - Editorial - Sense of entitlement (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Earlier this week, an independent audit of Dingwall's expenses in the wake of his resignation as president of the Royal Canadian Mint, concluded they were all within mint guidelines, except for a few thousand dollars.
		Immediately after Dingwall resigned following controversy over his expenses, we began to question the point of an exercise whereby Dingwall asked the mint's directors to appoint an independent committee to review his expenses, particularly in light of the fact that the mint board apparently approved all of his expenses in the first place.
		Dingwall, who already has a generous pension as a former MP and minister, now wants severance pay from the mint, despite the fact he quit because, in his famous words, he is "entitled to my entitlements."

		In a nutshell Dingwalls expense claims included a number of items that are very questionable, there’s an investigation into that going on now, and Dingwall resigned over it all; however that’s not the point of this post and I’m not going to comment on that aspect of the affair.
		Dingwall was in a senior role, the most senior role at the crown corp and I would be amazed if he did not negotiate an exit package when he took the job.
		Dingwall is not cozy with the rather ruthless Martin camp.

		In Dingwall’s circumstance, the type of review that was likely completed was a specified review whereby the client (Dingwall) determines what the scope of the engagement is and the accounting firm ‘audits’ these specific parts of the finances within that scope.
		Theses expenses mean that the botton line at the MINT was reduced beciase Dingwall was treating himself to the high life, no doubt toasting the other Liberal porkers slopping at the trough with hearty “Long live Radwanski” cheer.
		It is amusing that under Dingwall the Mint retreated from the practice of including ten-year historical results, and instead present only the historic results from the money-losing time before the Dinger showed up to save the company.
