PM Flood Relief Fund to be audited by private firm to ensure transparency

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif Saturday announced that the federal government has decided to get the PM Flood Relief Fund audited by the Accountant General Pakistan Revenues (AGPR) and a private audit firm of global standing.

“They will audit all the incoming and outgoing funds and where and how the money is spent,” wrote PM Shehbaz. 

He further said that the audit reports will be made public. 

The prime minister established a relief fund last month to help the people affected by the floods and appealed to the public to contribute. 

The prime minister also expressed gratitude to Chinese President Xi Jinping for increasing his country’s assistance package from the initial RMB100 million to RMB400 million for the people affected by floods.
