Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar has instructed Finance Minister Davendranath Tancoo to use the law to ensure Auditor General Jaiwantie Ramdass is able to audit the Central Bank’s accounts.

Persad-Bissessar made the statement in the Parliament yesterday as Tancoo laid the Report of the Auditor General on the Public Accounts of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago for the financial year 2024 (October 1, 2023, to September 30, 2024).

Persad-Bissessar said she read in recent newspaper reports Central Bank’s accounts are no longer being audited by the Auditor General.
