HLB Zimbabwe Chartered Accountants who were appointed by the Auditor-General’s Office to carry out a forensic audit on the Zimbabwe Revenue Authority accounts, have raised a red flag on salaries that appeared in suspended executives’ bank accounts but did not appear on the revenue collector’s payroll.
According to the auditors, the executives received various amounts of money between 2014 and 2016 with bank statements obtained by the auditors indicating that suspended Commissioner-General Mr Gershem Pasi received about $122 000 between January 2014 and June 2016 while other members of the executive received between $3 000 and $11 000.
However the chartered accountants could not determine whether the deposits into their bank accounts were proceeds of crime arising from corrupt activities or acts of money laundering. They however inquired with the human resources regarding the source of the amounts and human resources confirmed that the transfers did not originate from their department.
