OANDO Plc Notifies Exchange of Late Filing of 2019 Audited Financial

Oando PLC has announced that the Company’s Audited Financial Statement for the year ended 31st December 2019 is yet to be finalised and hence, will not be filed before the end of Q1 2022 as earlier announced in a press release dated February 3, 2022.

According to the disclosure, the audit is taking longer than expected as a result of the mandatory audit of post balance sheet events that have occurred subsequent to the 2019 reporting period.
