President of the Republic, General Michel Aoun, asserted the need of the Government to conduct a financial forensic audit of Central Bank accounts, stressing the importance of this step in the context of necessary reforms to tackle financial and economic conditions in the country.
Positions of President Aoun came while chairing a meeting which included Finance Minister Ghazi Wazn, Central Bank Governor Riad Salameh, former Minister Salim Jreisatti, Director General of the Presidency Dr. Antoine Choucair, and head of the Forensic Audit team of Alvarez & Marsal Company Mr. James Daniel, today at the Presidential Palace.
It was decided to extend the deadline required for the delivery of necessary documents for an additional three-month period, provided that some documents which have not yet been delivered would be delivered during this specified period of time. Moreover, the circumstances which accompanied the implementation of the decision in the audit process were also discussed.
