U.N. to audit its dealings with entities tied to alleged bribe scheme

UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has ordered an audit of all dealings the organisation had with two entities that are the subjects of a U.S. bribery probe, a U.N. spokesman said on Thursday.

Ban asked the Office of Internal Oversight Services to audit all of the U.N.'s interactions with the Global Sustainability Foundation and the Sun Kian Ip Group, as well as the use of any funds received from them, spokesman Stephane Dujarric said.
