ODSHERRED: In the midst of an economic crisis, Odsherred Forsyning has hired accountant Lasse Westh-Overgaard as a replacement for the finance director Claus Thorsen, who was reported to the police. The new director takes office on 1 May, according to Dansk Fjernvarme and Odsherred Forsyning.
- I am of course aware that I am taking up the role of CFO in a company that is in financial turmoil, and I see this as a professionally exciting challenge, says Lasse Westh-Overgaard in a press release.
Lasse Westh-Overgaard has for a number of years until 2020 acted as lead auditor for Odsherred Forsyning. He has also specialized in knowledge of the Danish supply sector.
Cancelled his projects
Odsherred Forsyning has very recently stopped its projects that were supposed to convert to district heating, because there was great uncertainty about the finances of the projects.
The figures that the now-fired finance director presented to his board and owners - Odsherred Municipality - were a mirror image that did not reflect the real costs of connecting 2,500 properties to the district heating network, writes SN.dk.
For now, the price is said to have increased by over half a billion kroner - from 950 million kroner. DKK to 1.6 billion DKK - compared to the original budget. At the same time, the chairman and two other members of the board have resigned.
