Participating in plans to disable this audit. Financial sources say that the transfer of the audit file to the new government will increase doubts about the political intentions of obstruction, especially if the company insists on withdrawing from the contract, and conducting the audit requires a new contract with a new government, given that the signing of contracts exceeds the powers of the interim government.
