DA hands KPMG statement to the Hawks
Auditing firm, KPMG is starting the week with a new boss.
As Nhlamu Dlomu steps into her new position as CEO of KPMG South Africa - crime fighting unit, the Hawks, says it's willing to assist in investigations following calls for a probe into alleged fraud and corruption at the firm.
The DA said yesterday that it submitted a statement by KPMG International to the Hawks. The unit's Hangwani Mulaudzi say they’ll first study the report before making a decision on what to do.
"It will depend on the allegations being made. We will then be able to make a decision as to whether there'll be a case or not that needs to be investigated.
"There must be elements of a crime that must be picked up before an investigation is done. Those are the measures we normally take. If it requires us to involve the NPA for guidance - we will do that," he says.
