Pago Pago, AMERICAN SAMOA — A former auditor of the ASG's Territorial Audit Office, Micheal A. Edmonds, has been appointed by Gov. Lemanu P. S. Mauga to fill the long-vacant post of Territorial Auditor, who also oversees this independent government agency. The governor's nomination of Edmonds — who is a U.S Certified Internal Auditor — was submitted this week to the Fono for confirmation. And his nomination will be officially introduced soon in both chambers. Local law — ASCA 4.0403 — states that the governor appoints the Territorial Auditor, subject to Fono confirmation, for a term of 4 years.
