KPMG, empresa auditora de PDVSA, acusada de fraude en ANGOLA
La empresa KPMG, "auditora" de PDVSA, tiene graves problemas en Angola, país donde su nombre ha sido asociado con un inversionista, Jean Claude Bastos, denunciado por fraude por los PARADISE PAPERS.

Mauritian authorities
have frozen 91 bank accounts linked to investor Jean-Claude
Bastos, a key figure from the Paradise
Papers with close connections to Angola’s former leaders.
The Paradise Papers not
only uncovered details about Bastos and Quantum Global’s management
of Angola’s fund but identified their association with global accounting
giant KPMG.
KPMG worked with Bastos and Quantum Management in Mauritius as
tens of millions of dollars were shuffled by them from Angola to Mauritius and
beyond
The Papers revealed that Quantum Global established seven
entities in Mauritius to manage billions of dollars on behalf of the Angolan
government fund after similar proposals in Jersey and the Isle of Man were
turned down or dropped.
Bastos and Quantum Global, like many other offshore players,
benefited from close relationships with lawyers and bankers as well as
accounting giant KPMG. ICIJ is today publishing documents that underscore these
ties.
Bastos is a friend and business mentor of Jose Filomeno de
Santos, the son of Angola’s former president and former chairman of Angola’s
sovereign wealth fund.
In January, Angola’s new
president João Lourenço sacked dos
Santos as the fund chairman. Prosecutors later charged dos
Santos with fraud relating to a $500 million transaction from the central bank.
No es sorpresa que PDVSA busque una empresa que sea ¨fñexible¨ en su trabajo de auditoria. Seguramente que consigan que acepten algunas interpretaciones más creativas que las comunes. Esto aún sucede a pesar de que después del desastre de Enron se haya obligado a éstas empresas a dedicarse a auditoria y no tener una rama de asesoría financiera, lo que producía grandes conflictos de intereses en el pasado.
ResponderEliminarBueno Gustavo sin ir muy lejos. Alejandro Andrade de ser un pobre cadetico de sexta pasó a ser un acaudalado con caballerizas. Tú y yo sabemos lo costoso que es UN caballo en USA. Imagínate SESENTA.
ResponderEliminarY pensar que no le han podido meter preso todavía, a pesar de tanta ostentación. Soy pesimista sobre la aplicación de la justicia.
ResponderEliminarDonde estan esos caballos?............para asarlos
ResponderEliminarSeguro que esta en Wellington, condeandose con los "caballistas" de por esos lados en donde pulula el Polo y burguesia jinetera.
