Venezuela and U.S. Hire Firms for Asset Audit

On April 28, Jin10 reported that the Central Bank of Venezuela announced in a statement that both Venezuela and the United States have hired professional firms to audit Venezuela's overseas assets. The statement did not specify which firms were involved. According to the bank, this move aims to ensure the impartiality of the audit process. The statement cited the bank's president, Luis Alberto Perez, who reportedly made a statement last Friday, saying, 'Regarding Venezuela's overseas financial resources, the U.S. government has hired an auditing firm, while the Venezuelan government has hired another.' Previously, three informed sources in Venezuela revealed that Deloitte, a U.S. accounting firm, has been hired to audit the Central Bank of Venezuela. The audit will cover various aspects, including foreign exchange auctions and gold operations.
