Stamford Undergoes Review Of Policies, Hiring After Theft Case

STAMFORD, CT — Stamford's government is undergoing a review of its purchasing and hiring policies following the arrest of the city's marina supervisor for alleged embezzlement, writes the Stamford Advocate.

The review is being conducted by the city's city's Internal Auditor, Teresa Viscariello, who was asked by the Board of Finance this week to report on the scope of the project which will cover a five-year period to 2018.
