Forensic auditor Anand Goolsarran yesterday defended his report on government’s holding company NICIL saying that the findings are backed by legal support and despite a hostile response from NICIL which placed a severe restriction on the audit, he tried his best to incorporate as many explanations as possible provided by the entity.
National Industrial and Commercial Investments Ltd (NICIL) Executive Director Winston Brassington on Monday defended his leadership of the entity saying he broke no laws and the audit report is not backed up with evidence. The damning report had recommended criminal charges and disciplinary action for breaching several laws.
“As far as I know, and in good faith, I have not broken any laws and if Mr Goolsarran is suggesting it, then I believe I have a clear defence on why what we did was properly done and we should not be held responsible and the only way this matter can be determined is if this matter goes to court and be heard and no one has ever challenged us,”
