Some officials of the Ruhunu Development Bank had fraudulently withdrawn Rs. 6.1 million recently, the Auditor General report released to Parliament stated.

Also, the Auditor General observes that confirmation in respect of investment valued at Rs.1.5 billion was not available for audit last year.

The report says that the bank has not followed proper documentary procedures in taking investment decisions.

The value of non-performing investments amounted to Rs.47 million during the year under review. (Kelum Bandara)
