Mobile operators to be audited again

Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC) posted an advertisement on its web site on Sunday. In 2011, a similar attempt was withheld by the court as the mobile operators questioned the method of auditing by local firms, which the BTRC had appointed then. Sunday’s advertisement said foreign auditors can also make bid alongside the local ones, but specified that the local auditors have to be registered with the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Bangladesh (ICAB). However, regardless of foreign and local venture, all the participants have to form a joint venture or partnership with each other to join the bid. In case of local auditors, the foreign firms will have to work as the associate, according to bdnews24.com.
