Forensic Audit Report Press Statement
The Auditor General received the draft Forensic Audit Report from the International Forensic Auditors in the evening of 14th February 2014 for his review and comments. The Auditor Generals observations and comments have since been referred to the Forensic Auditors who arrived in Malawi on Monday, 17th February 2014 to finalize the Report for quality improvements. Once the Forensic Audit Report has been finalized by the Forensic Auditors, it will be re-submitted to the Auditor General for necessary action, including onward transmission to the Minister of Finance who will publish the Report through submission to Parliament, among others. The relevant Malawi Government Authorities have been informed of the delay in the finalization and publication of the Forensic Audit Report and appreciate the efforts being made by the International Forensic Auditors and the Auditor General who are working tirelessly to finalize the Report in its highest standards required. It is in this regard that the Auditor Generals Office commends Malawi Authorities for their understanding of the delay at this critical hour that the country is anxiously looking forward to the findings of the Audit Report on the looting of the public resources and the way forward to improve Public Finance Management with the objective of deterring similar occurrences in the future.
