PAKISTAN, JUL 16 – Audit finds Pakistan Software Export Board misused over Rs132 million through unsecured advances, improper withdrawals, and irregular rehiring, prompting recovery efforts and investigations by authorities.
- On July 17, 2025, the Pakistan Software Export Board audit report uncovered major financial irregularities, including misuse of funds, unsecured advances, and questionable rehiring practices.

- The audit report disclosed advance payments of Rs10.592 million were made without bank guarantees and flagged re-employment of an officer after retirement without competitive process.

- PSEB management noted gaps in terminal liabilities from unutilized advances may affect operations, while management committed to revisit procedures to ensure compliance.
