Allegations of conflict of interest, poor oversight and requests for questionable pay raises, has prompted L.A. City Controller Wendy Greuel to call for a comprehensive audit of the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.

The stadium, home to USC football, is jointly operated by the state, Los Angeles County and the city of Los Angeles.

A press release from Greuel’s office says “The audit assesses internal and management controls regarding financial decision making and reviews the Coliseum’s financial operations from 2009 to present.”

Greuel decided to start the audit after getting a request from an “office manager” to increase the salary of 20 of the department’s 32 employees, including a $25,000 pay hike for the Coliseum’s finance director.

“This request raises many red flags,” stated Greuel. “Given the allegations of conflicts of interest and misuse of public funds, I find it hard to believe that officials at the Coliseum think this would be an appropriate request. It begs for us to review the Coliseum’s books with greater scrutiny.”

According to the L.A. Times, Coliseum Commission President David Israel said he rescinded the $25,000 salary boost for finance director Ronald Lederkramer (who made about $195,000 last fiscal year), after Greuel raised questions about it last week.
