It appears some of the info on Valerie Covey’s (District Clerk candidate) resume is deliberately misleading.  According to the resume posted on her website, Covey was an Audit Manager for a giant accounting firm.  However, the giant accounting firm representative has said most likely not - she didn’t have the five years professional accounting experience required to be an Audit Manager - since she had just graduated from college.

According to our tipster, Covey never did work for the State Comptroller as she claims (see below link).  The vendor she really did work for - for only 8 1/2 months - instead of the Comptroller - did such unsatisfactory work, it lost the contract.  Sorry Val, 8 1/2 months is not two years, no matter what sort of accounting formula you use.

We have a copy of an evaluation that shows the vendor, during Covey’s tenure, was supposed to complete 11 audits.  All the audits were turned in late, all were returned for correction, and only two were ever completed.  Even by government standards, that’s really bad.

An earlier posting (I Can Bring Home the Bacon), indicated Covey held down three jobs between 2002 and 2003.  It was pointed out to us that she was holding down not three, but *four* jobs during that time (our bad).  In addition to the three jobs first posted, she also ran her own CPA firm from 2003 to 2005.  What a worker!  But if part of her resume is fake or inflated, it still doesn’t add up any way you do the math.
