Audit identifies $2.1M in 'unexplained payments' to Alexander First Nation former chief and staff

A "forensic investigation" has identified $2.1 million in "unexplained payments" to a former chief of the Alexander First Nation and seven administrative staff, according to a leaked internal document.

The document says about half of the unexplained amounts, totalling more than $1 million, were paid to former chief Herbert Arcand and current tribal chief administrator Alphonse Arcand.

But both of them dismiss the report's findings, arguing all the proper documents weren't submitted to the auditors.
