The letter from New Orleans Office of Inspector General (OIG) to the State Board of Certified Public Accountants of Louisiana asserts that the Campaign Treasurer for Sheriff Marlin Gusman, Albert J. “Joey” Richard, III, has a conflict in appearance and fact due to his direct involvement in both Sheriff Gusman’s election campaigns and in auditing the Orleans Parish Sheriff’s Office on approval of the Legislative Auditor, as provided in La. R.S. 24:513(A)(5).
