The decision by the world governing body for football (FIFA) to block funding to the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) resulted from the findings of a 2015 Central Review performed by the accounting firm Pricewaterhouse Coopers, according to documents seen by Stabroek Sport.
According to a correspondence from FIFA dated September 26th 2016, on the subject of the Official 2015 Central Review – Key Findings Report from PwC, in relation to the Normalization Committee Tenure, signed by General Secretary Fatma Samoura, which was seen by this publication yesterday, Samoura, in an e-mail to Merson Jones, then General Secretary of the GFF, explained the Audit and Compliance Commit-tee’s decision to block the GFF from accessing FIFA funding.
“On 10 October 2016 the Audit and Compliance Committee agreed to block funding to the Football Federation of Guyana. The decision has been taken based on the findings of the 2015 Central Review performed by PwC. In light of the decision, all FIFA funds will be withheld,” Samoura wrote.
