PAC The Finance Ministry (MOF) appears unaware that KPMG's appointment as 1MDB's auditor was terminated by Finance Minister Najib Abdul Razak, according to the Public Accounts Committee's records.

During a PAC hearing on 1MDB on June 16, 2015, MOF's cabinet and parliament unit chief Rosli Yaakub told the committee that the ministry was not involved in the appointment of 1MDB auditors.

The next day the committee received confirmation from KPMG that it had been sacked while auditing 1MDB accounts via a letter from 1MDB signed by the finance minister.
