‘Abnormal’ to amend completed 1MDB audit report, says former A-G

Former auditor-general Ambrin Buang has told the Kuala Lumpur High Court that it was 'abnormal' and 'unprecedented' for the completed 1MDB audit report to be amended. – The Malaysian Insight file pic, August 10, 2020.

IT was “abnormal” and “unprecedented” for the National Audit Department to make amendments on a finalised audit report prepared by the department itself, said former auditor-general Ambrin Buang in the Kuala Lumpur High Court today. The sixth prosecution witness, who was referring to the 1Malaysia Development Bhd’s audit report, said he was not happy when former chief secretary to the government Ali Hamsa had authorised former 1MDB chief executive officer Arul Kanda Kandasamy to review the report and when he requested for amendments to be made on certain issues.
