FGV to appoint independent auditor for forced labour assessment in August

KUALA LUMPUR: FGV Holdings Bhd will soon appoint an independent auditor to conduct an assessment of its operations following the US Customs and Border Protection's (CBP) ban on the import of its palm oil products in September last year.

In a statement, the group said it is calling for proposals from prospective organisations and expects to finalise the appointment of the independent auditor in August, following which the assessment works will immediately begin.
