Najib had right to be briefed on audit report, says witness

KUALA LUMPUR: An investigating officer agreed with a suggestion in the High Court here on Friday that Datuk Seri Najib Razak had the right to be given briefings on any proposals or corrections regarding the financial position of 1Malaysia Development Berhad .

"I started serving in MACC as an investigating officer in 2016, two yeears before I was assigned to investigate this audit report amendment case in 2018," he said at the trial of Najib and former 1MDB chief executive officer Arul Kanda Kandasamy on alleged tampering of the 1MDB audit report. Haniff said he was also aware of a statement by former Auditor-General Tan Sri Ambrin Buang to the media in Parliament in December 2018 that no one could amend the 1MDB audit report without his agreement.
