Thai PBS seeks audit committee probe into alleged SAO information leak

Today 07:54 Key points summarised by AI

Thai PBS plans to petition the National Audit Committee chairman to investigate the State Audit Office (SAO) for an alleged information leak during its probe into the broadcaster's funds.
Despite the SAO's investigation being incomplete, details purportedly from the probe, including accusations against Thai PBS staff and demands for compensation, surfaced on social media.
Thai PBS was not officially notified of the SAO's findings, leading to public confusion and reputational damage to the organization and individuals involved.
Thai PBS seeks clarification on how confidential information was disclosed, accountability for the leak (whether deliberate or negligent), and mechanisms to address the resulting misunderstandings and damage.

Thai PBS insists the State Audit Office (SAO) investigation into the alleged misuse of 85.22 million baht in funding is not yet concluded, advocating for direct agency communication.
Deputy Director Piset Chiyasak warned against unverified social media information, confirming Thai PBS has not received an official SAO report to validate circulating claims.
Piset clarified that SAO investigations identify deficiencies and recommend measures, not verdicts, emphasizing Thai PBS's right to present its defense against any findings.
Thai PBS remains committed to transparency and good governance, ready to consider official SAO recommendations while seeking a fair opportunity to present its perspective.
