PJBumi's external auditor tenders resignation

KUALA LUMPUR: PJBumi Bhd has received a notice in writing from Messrs Afrizan Tarmili Khairul Azhar PLT on their resignation as external auditors of the company.

In a filing with Bursa Malaysia, the engineering and construction services provider said the auditors were re-appointed at the last annual general meeting (AGM) of the company held on Dec 17, 2021 to hold office until the conclusion of the next AGM of the company.

“The auditors had tendered their resignation because the Audit Oversight Board (AOB) had notified the auditors that they are prohibited to perform audit of public interest entities for 12 months commencing from Dec 10, 2021,” PJBumi said.

PJBumi is in the midst of identifying the new auditors to be appointed pursuant to Section 271(2)(b) of the Companies Act 2016.
