Jordan's Ministry of Trade and Industry has started auditing 7,000 shareholding companies in a bid to pre-empt possible financial difficulties and protect public interest, Jordan Times reported Wednesday.
The ministry's comptroller Salem Khazaaleh was quoted by the daily as saying that "the audit will help the companies pinpoint imbalances and weaknesses which must be duly addressed in order to avert financial collapse.”
Khazaaleh said these companies have been requested to provide the comptroller's office with period reports on their activities and difficulties so that the office can help find a solution to prevent further deterioration and violations of the law -- Albawaba.com
