WP's tradition of suppresio veri, suggestio falsi to paint a rosy picture of their slow progress (aka delay tactics). Nothing can be described as "successful" if it resolved nothing. Worse still if new implementations introduce more problems instead.
In fact, KMPG's July report stated that it found a further 70 control failures within the town council, in addition to the 115 control failures earlier identified by the Auditor-General's Office.
This has been consistently what KPMG's monthly report been saying: "These Audit Points are unresolved ....or iii) because of identified shortcomings in the way in which they have been remedied. "

"Referring to the lapses, KPMG said "no audit points were resolved" in the period since the last progress report last month.
While AHTC has put in place some measures to address these issues, several have not been fully implemented and others have not been tested, said KPMG. It added that some measures were also found lacking. As a result, they were not enough to bring the town council in line with the Town Councils Act, said KPMG."

In his post, Mr Shanmugam said that KPMG, which is AHTC’s own independent accountants, had uncovered even more faults than the Auditor-General’s Office (AGO) and AHTC’s statutory auditors. He said the AGO and AHTC’s statutory auditors found 115 failures, and KPMG uncovered another 70 – making a total of 185 failures. “Since the AGO audit, the situation has not gotten better. It has gotten far worse,” he wrote.
Mr Shanmugam added that the report underlines a key issue: that AHTC’s leadership has neither upheld nor enforced integrity and ethical values. “The rot is at the top,” he wrote. “This should come as no surprise.”
He said the High Court and the Court of Appeal have already criticised the Workers' Party's Ms Sylvia Lim and Mr Pritam Singh for suppressing the truth (designed to mislead) both in Parliament and in Court. “To them, the truth is a tradable commodity,” he said, adding that he would elaborate further on this in another post.
Channel News Asia: 23 Jul 2016 - KPMG report on AHTC paints 'devastating account' of town council mismanagement: Shanmugam
In a 43-page report posted by AHTC on its website on Wednesday, KPMG — which was appointed by the town council on court orders to help fix compliance and governance lapses following a protracted legal tussle — said it had identified a further 70 “control failures” after four months of work.
These cut across key areas of governance, financial control and reporting, procurement and records management over five years.
