The Cen­tral Bank’s ac­counts are no longer be­ing au­dit­ed by the Au­di­tor Gen­er­al.

That fact was dis­closed by the Cen­tral Bank on Fri­day, in re­sponse to a re­quest for in­for­ma­tion from the fi­nan­cial reg­u­la­tor and the Gov­ern­ment’s banker to com­ments by Prime Min­is­ter Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar last Thurs­day. She said that for a sec­ond year the Cen­tral Bank did not co­op­er­ate with the Au­di­tor Gen­er­al’s re­quest for in­for­ma­tion.

The Prime Min­is­ter said, “The Cen­tral Bank Gov­er­nor re­fus­es to di­vulge in­for­ma­tion. This is the same Cen­tral Bank Gov­er­nor who on two oc­ca­sions...with two suc­ces­sive Au­di­tor Gen­er­al’s re­ports has failed to pro­vide in­for­ma­tion to the Au­di­tor Gen­er­al.
