GCB Bank Limited has denied allegations that the bank made unauthorized transfers totaling GH¢52.5 billion to unidentified sources.
The bank in a press statement issued Tuesday and posted on its Facebook page said it had “noted with grave concern the publication of a doctored letter” purportedly emanating from the Ghana Audit Service in respect of the funds transferred.
The said letter, currently circulating mostly on social media with the caption, “Audit Service Reports of GH¢52.5 Billion Transferred from GCB Bank To Unknown Sources,” alleges that a total amount of GH¢52.5 billion was transferred from GCB’s accounts to unidentified sources. This is false and mischievously designed to discredit the Bank,” the statement said.
