The 2016 1MDB Audit Report Underwent Specific Amendments

The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) proceeded under the assumption that the 2016 auditor-general's report on 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) was presented in its original form. However, the committee was reportedly unaware of any alterations made to the document. Former PAC chairman Tan Sri Hasan Arifin stated that the committee accepted the report as provided by the former auditor-general, Tan Sri Ambrin Buang, without knowledge of subsequent changes.
Removal of Key Financial and Investigative Sections

Significant amendments were made to the audit report, notably involving the removal of specific content. Two paragraphs were deleted from the report. These deleted sections contained crucial information, including 1MDB's financial statement for the year 2014.
Elimination of Recommendations for Further Investigation

In addition to the financial statement, the removed paragraphs also included recommendations for official action. These recommendations called for a full investigation into 1MDB by relevant authorities. The exclusion of these points meant that the PAC, in its initial review, did not have access to these specific directives for further scrutiny by law enforcement or other bodies.
Ambrin Buang's Presence During Alleged Order for Amendments

The former auditor-general, Tan Sri Ambrin Buang, was reportedly present during a meeting where former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak allegedly instructed that the 1MDB audit report be amended. This detail, as reported, places Ambrin Buang at the scene when the directive for alterations to the report was issued, prior to its submission to the PAC.
