Provision is to be made for a full year's interest on the Loan notes. The investment property held at 31st December, 2016 had a fair value of GH9,700,000. There were no acquisitions or disposals of these investments during the year. In June, 2016, Akwaaba's internal audit unit discovered a fraud committed by the company's credit manager who did not return from a foreign business trip.

Of this amount, GH400,000 relates to the year ended 31st December, 2015 and the remainder to the current year. Akwaaba is not insured against this fraud.
