The forensic audit, published in 2019, produced five reports. Two were focused entirely on the EPF’s transactions: one on bond market transactions, titled “Investigation on primary and secondary market transactions of Employees Provident Fund

However, the forensic audit only examined losses up to February 2015, excluding the subsequent period.

The Presidential Commission identified February 2015 to March 2016 as a period during which a third party made significant gains from dealings with the EPF, with profits estimated at around LKR 6,400 million.

By focusing only on the pre-2015 period, the audit potentially underrepresents the total losses, suggesting that the nearly LKR 10 billion in reported losses could be just the tip of the iceberg.

The bond market report revealed that EPF incurred losses amounting to nearly LKR 10 billion (LKR 9,826 million) due to irregular bond market transactions between January 2002 and February 2015.
