Caf finances, payments questioned by PWC review

An independent audit has found ‘possible abuse of power’ and ‘potential elements of mismanagement’ at the heart of African football

Price Waterhouse Cooper’s audit of the Confederation of African Football’s finances has revealed evidence “potential elements of mismanagement” and “possible abuse of power."

The report, which covers 2017 to 2019, may well heap further pressure on Caf President Ahmad Ahmad, less than a week after Fifa ended their six-month supervision period of African football’s governing body, which was a consequence of a series of corruption scandals.

While Gianni Infantino may believe that the continent’s reform has been completed successfully, the 55-page PWC report has shed further light on the nature of Caf’s financial management during Ahmad's tenure.
