The Government has commissioned an audit of the Sugar Industry Authority and the Sugar Industry Research Institute, as it moves to strengthen the agencies.
The audit which is to cost $8 million is to be conducted by PricewaterhouseCoopers.
Agriculture Minister, Roger Clarke said it has become necessary to re-examine the operations of the institutions and the regulation that govern them in light of the privatisation of the sugar industry.
Clarke added that the government has a responsibility to ensure a proper regulation and efficient institutions in this new environment.
