Illustration for Deposit Takers Act 2023

The Bank has to send the financial statements of the fund to the Auditor-General. You need to think of the financial statements like a report card for the fund's money. The Bank must do this before the end of the second month after the financial year ends. The Auditor-General then checks the statements to make sure they are correct and writes a report about them. The Auditor-General gives this report to the Bank within 30 days of getting the statements. The Auditor-General's job is to make sure the financial statements are accurate and follow the rules.
