MISCONDUCT: CAF Top Executive Risks Sanction

Ibrahim Lateef

Véron Mosengo-Omba, the Confederation of African Football (CAF) General Secretary could be suspended after he was accused of “whitewashing” an investigation into allegations of serious misconduct against him, BSNSports.com.ng gas sourced from The Guardian of the UK.

 CAF’s audit and compliance committee claimed there had been “unauthorized interference” from Mosengo-Omba regarding a report into his conduct because the external auditor had been appointed by him. Last month, CAF opened an investigation into Mosengo-Omba and his office after its head of governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) accused them of “impeding” members of her department from performing their duties and, among other claims, of breaching internal governance and auditing regulations. CAF said its audit and compliance committee would appoint an independent international law firm or audit and professional services firm to conduct the investigation, and its president, Patrice Motsepe, promised: “appropriate action will immediately be taken if improper conduct or behavior is identified.”
