NNA - Chairman of the Finance and Budget Parliamentary Committee, MP Ibrahim Kanaan, addressed today a letter to Caretaker Finance Minister Youssef Khalil, requesting to obtain a copy of the forensic audit report of the “Alvarez and Marsal” company on the accounts of the Banque du Liban.

The letter came in wake of news published in political and media circles that the "Alvarez & Marsal" company has completed its report on the forensic audit of the Central Bank accounts and has presented it to the Finance Minister, after a delay of several months, as required by the provisions of the contract organizing its work.

Kanaan indicated in his letter that since the Finance and Budget Committee, within the scope of its financial monitoring role, is in the process of holding a session dedicated to reviewing the aforementioned report and discussing its content, in the Finance Minister's presence, a copy of said report is required in order to enable the committee members to view its content before setting up a discussion session, in line with the provisions of Article 32 of the Parliament Council's bylaws.
