Below are some of the major findings from the summary, translated from the original document in Bahasa Melayu. Some details differ from the US Department of Justice’s civil complaint; however, the major events tally.
SINGAPORE (May 21): On May 15, Malaysia’s national audit department announced that a formerly classified report on 1Malaysia Development Bhd had been reclassified as an open document. The audit department commenced its audit of 1MDB on March 10, 2015 using available financial statements from FY2010 ended March 31 to FY2014. The audit department says it was unable to obtain management accounts for FY2015, as well as bank statements from foreign financial institutions.
A summary of the report was published on the audit department’s website. Several other reports, one containing as many as 386 pages, have been circulating. However, the audit department clarified on May 16 that only the summary has been uploaded online.
