Following the intervention of the Central Bank of Nigeria’s (CBN)in the Bank in July 2016, there was an over-haul of the Bank’s Corporate Governance framework which led to major resignations and new appointments into the Board; changes in specific internal structures and the need to have in place some other structures prior to the approval of the Bank’s accounts.
This led to the conduct of an interim audit of the Bank’s half year accounts of 2016. As a result of these restructures and changes, the Bank is currently experiencing some delays with the completion of the audit exercise of its Audited Financial Statement (AFS) for the year ended 31 December 2016.
