SAB to be transferred from industry ministry

PM agrees in principle to shift the Sugar Advisory Board on Khusro Bakhtiar’s request ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan has agreed in principle to transfer the Sugar Advisory Board (SAB) from the Ministry of Industries to some other ministry in view of the newly appointed industry minister’s refusal to chair the board due to conflict of interest. During a recent cabinet reshuffle, the prime minister elevated Makhdoom Khusro Bakhtiar to federal minister for industries. He was earlier heading a relatively less important Ministry of Economic Affairs. Bakhtiar’s family has stakes in the Rahim Yar Khan (RYK) Group that owns five sugar mills with a total production capacity of 637,691 metric tons and has 12.24% share in total national production capacity.

Who will audit the auditors?

Top Story April 14, 2021 ISLAMABAD: The audit firm that gave Jehangir Khan Tareen’s JDW Sugar Mills Limited a clean bill of health year-on-year remains unaccounted for though a reference was filed against it but never followed through – apparently due to conflicting interests. The JDW Sugar Mills, together with 14 other mills, is currently facing a probe by the Federal Investigation Agency. The Sugar Inquiry Commission in its final report submitted to the federal cabinet on May 21, 2020, accused the auditors of neither obtaining appropriate assurance that the financial reports were free from material misstatement nor ensuring that the accounting treatment was appropriately applied. The report further noted that the auditors also didn’t address any deficiencies detected so that the investors and other users of financial reports were not misled with regard to the quality of information they contained.
