Dhaka, Sep 29 (V7N) – Financial Advisor Dr. Salehuddin Ahmed has said that many companies in Bangladesh are engaged in fraudulent practices in reporting their income and expenditure, while those involved in money laundering are “highly skilled” in concealing their activities.

He made the remarks while speaking at a discussion titled “Financial Transparency in the Corporate Sector” organized by the Economic Reporters Forum (ERF) on Monday afternoon.

Dr. Ahmed noted that while the interim government has made some progress, not everything can be considered flawless. However, he observed that Bangladesh’s international image has improved compared to before.

Turning to the role of the media, the Financial Advisor emphasized the need for greater efficiency and higher standards in journalism, urging institutions to take a more proactive role in supporting quality reporting.

Following the discussion, Dr. Ahmed officially unveiled the nameplate of the ERF Institute.
