Harin Fernando, the Sports Minister, on Monday gave the directives to carry on an independent forensic audit of Sri Lanka Cricket Board (SLC).
The Minister has instructed SLC Competent Authority Chulananda Perera to submit the final report within two weeks. Accordingly, Chulananda Perera has asked auditor general for the directions.
“The honorable Sports Minister has given the instructions to carry on a forensic audit from 1st January 2016 to 31st December 2018” a SLC Top Official told Cricket Age.
It is noteworthy that in recent times SLC has become notorious for financial irregularities and suspected frauds. This year itself, few employees of SLC account department tried to transfer millions of television rights money to an offshore account. Later, the CID had lodged a complaint and arrested Chief financial officer of the board. Few weeks ago, the International Cricket Council (ICC) labelled SLC as most corrupted cricket board in the world!
