Independent Audit Clears ZC

To anger from some but no surprise, the independent audit of ZC's finances, commissioned from KPMG by the ICC, has cleared ZC of any serious wrongdoing, while noting that there were "serious irregularities" in the accounts. I did point out a while back that, while not wanting to defend any ZC misconduct, "financial irrelgularities" simply come with the territory of doing business in Zimbabwe at the moment - particularly if you deal heavily in forex, which ZC would. ZC Chairman Peter Chingoka is reported to have used this defence during the audit.

As you'd expect, though, there are cries of 'whitewash' and 'cover-up', which have been seized upon by CricInfo and others. Me, I'll just keep my mouth shut.
