Audit reveals SDG 440 billion disbursed without justification in state-owned mineral company

A recent report issued by Sudan’s National Audit Chamber has revealed significant financial and administrative violations within the Sudanese Company for Mineral Resources Ltd., following a review of the company’s 2024 accounts.

It called for urgent measures to address these imbalances and hold the responsible parties accountable, according to the Sudanese news outlet Al-Mashhad.
