Lebanese Finance Minister Asks BDL Governor to Implement Parliament Forensic Audit Decision

Lebanese caretaker Finance Minister Ghazi Wazni on Tuesday asked Central Bank’s (BDL) governor to implement the Parliament’s decision on conducting forensic auditing of all state administrations’’ accounts.

The outgoing minister sent a letter to Riad Salameh asking him to implement the Parliament’s decision. Earlier on Sunday, Wazni said that Salameh has to comply with the Parliament’s decision to provide all the state and Central Bank accounts to the forensic auditing team because these accounts do not fall under the banking secrecy law. Parliament passed a recommendation for a forensic audit Friday to be carried out not just for the Central Bank, but for all state institutions. Speaker Nabih Berri had called for the session after President Michel Aoun sent a letter to Parliament stressing the importance of the forensic audit.   Source: Agencies
