KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): Former auditor-general Tan Sri Ambrin Buang told the High Court Wednesday (Aug 12) that former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak never told him which of two conflicting versions of 1MDB's 2014 financial statements to include in the final audit report.

Ambrin, the sixth prosecution witness was referring to his earlier testimony on Najib's request not to include the issue that there were two versions of the financial statements in the 1MDB audit report during a meeting at the former premier's office on Feb 22,2016.

Najib, 67, was charged with using his position to order amendments to the 1MDB final audit report which was already 'finalised' by Auditor-General before the report was 'finalised again' and presented before the Public Accounts Committee to avoid any action being taken against him. In his earlier statement, Ambrin explained there were two versions of 1MDB's 2014 financial statements.

The two conflicting versions of 1MDB's financial reports were among four issues agreed to be removed from the company audit report.
