‘Abnormal’ for 1MDB to review its own audit report, court told

KUALA LUMPUR: Former auditor-general Tan Sri Ambrin Buang described how it was “insulting” to him when 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) was allowed to explicitly review the National Audit Department’s audit report page by page on the sovereign wealth fund prior to the report being published.

At the High Court yesterday, Ambrin said it was “abnormal” when an auditee was able to review the Department’s report and sit in a meeting with other stakeholders, which resulted in several amendments being made to 1MDB’s audit report in February 2016.
