Cricket West Indies (CWI) President, Ricky Skerritt yesterday denied that there had been any cover-up of a damning audit report of the board under his predecessor which raised concerns about money-laundering and other transgressions and  said a series of recommendations are already being implemented.

In a statement following the publication in Stabroek News of some of the major findings of the audit by Pannell Kerr Foster (PKF), Skerritt said that CWI has since been in the process of implementing recommendations as swiftly as it could and several of these have already been fully incorporated into the organisation’s day-to-day operations, including:

● reinforcing the President’s role as Non-Executive Chairman of the Board, with responsibility for strategic policy and governance, while empowering and supporting the CEO and his management team with full responsibility for all operational aspects of the organization;
