Governor Wouwou said the audit is to ensure there is transparency and accountability.
He made the announcement during the Sandaun Provincial Government swearing in ceremony on Monday.
“As of today, I am conditionally freezing all the Provincial Service Improvement Program Funds to allow for the books to be cleared before I can take over.
“This is to allow for good governance, transparency and accountability to prevail during my term as the Governor of the province,” Governor Wouwou said.
