Louisiana selects D & T as Hurricane Relief Auditor

Louisiana Administration Commissioner Jerry Luke LeBlanc announced that Deloitte and Touche had been chosen to assist in the oversight of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita funds. LeBlanc said that D&T would overss receipt and distribution of funds and assist the Legislative Auditor and Inspector General in fighting fraud, corruption and misconduct related to these funds. Among the reasons given for choosing Deloitte is the firm's experience with the September 11 tragedy in New York and earthquake relief in California.
