Finance Ministry top officials were barred from accessing certain "red files" and prevented by the previous BN administration from carrying out their professional duties with integrity.
Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng said he received the complaints during a series of meetings earlier today with all senior Treasury officials, led by deputy treasurer-general Siti Zauyah Mohd Desa.
Since clocking in for his first day in office this morning, Lim said he also met with auditor-general Madinah Mohamad and her team of officers.
"Both of them briefed me on the current status of the nation's finances and the shocking revelation that they were not able to access certain accounts and reports.
"There were also complaints that certain 'red files' were only accessible to certain parties, which impeded officials and auditors from carrying out their professional responsibilities with integrity," Lim told a press conference at the Finance Ministry today.
Lim, as such, said he has issued a directive that all accounts must now be opened to both the Treasury and the auditor-general, and there is an ongoing process of consolidating the related figures which were previously inaccessible.
