Political agreement: Will investigate the finances of the Ski World Championships Trondheim 2025 AS

There is political agreement that the company Ski-VM Trondheim 2025 AS should undergo an independent investigation.

The proposal is adopted by the Labour Party, the Conservative Party, the Liberal Party, the Liberal Party and the Pensioners’ Party.

The proposal from the control committee in Trondheim municipality

The Control Committee believes that the financial situation in the company SKI-VM is very serious. Trondheim Municipality owns 10 percent of the company, and has contributed significant resources towards the event. The owners and creditors are therefore in a demanding situation.

The committee believes that the information provided provides a basis for raising questions about the company’s financial management, organization, board reporting and owner reporting. The committee finds that it is necessary to investigate the triggering factors that have led to the company’s financial situation.

Based on this, the control committee decides to investigate the conditions in and around the company SKI-VM TRONDHEIM 2025 AS from the very beginning of the company.

The Control Committee asks the secretariat to prepare such an order for the committee’s meeting in August.

The committee notes that the owners are signaling their own reviews of the company, and asks the secretariat to consider limitations in this regard and to engage in dialogue regarding transparency.

Understand if the residents feel cheated

Head of the control committee, Gjermund Bungum Gorset, began the meeting by saying the following:

– One of the largest cross-political initiatives we have had in this city has ended in a company in financial crisis. This represents a gross breach of trust. In this, my thoughts go first and foremost to our residents.

He highlights all the volunteers who worked day and night to make the public festival happen.

– I understand that residents of Trondheim feel cheated.

Gjermund Bungum Gorset heads the control committee in Trondheim municipality.

Therefore, he and the rest of the committee believe that the people now deserve answers as to why it ended in such a way.

– It is good that the committee is now united in wanting to investigate the conditions in and around the company SKI-VM Trondheim 2025 AS. I believe that is a very right step, says Gorset.

– We agree that every stone in this matter should be left unturned until we have a clear answer as to why this happened the way it did. We are making a decision today that we want a thorough investigation into the finances and management in and around the Ski World Championships.

He believes that in the current situation, there are more excuses than explanations.

The Control Committee is meeting Thursday evening.

Shock message and argument

Last week, the World Ski Championships received a shock message: What was planned to be a profit of around 20 million kroner had in a short time turned into a “significant deficit” of many millions.

Just after 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday, the owners of the World Ski Championships received a review of the state of affairs. But without getting any exact figures on how much the deficit is today.

At the same time, NRK can now reveal that the municipality and the World Ski Championships are having backroom discussions about who will foot an additional bill of 14 million kroner.

The bill is related to the temporary solutions that were set up in Granåsen in connection with the championship. Examples of this were the temporary stands, big screens, grease booths, audience tents and much more.

I’m happy to investigate

Kjetil Reinskou is the city councilor for finance in Trondheim Municipality. During the meeting with the control committee, he says that he is happy with the decision that has been made.

– I appreciate that the committee wants to find the cause. And I feel we will get to the bottom of this. We don’t have the answers now, but they will come.

Kjetil Reinskou believes that more answers will be needed about the economy after the Ski World Championships on June 17th.

Kent Ranum believes the focus now must be on keeping a cool head and ensuring that all those who have outstanding amounts get as much back as possible.
