The Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE) has granted extension to E.S.L.A. PLC and Daakye Trust PLC to submit their audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, by April 30, 2023.

It has also granted an extension to Samba Food Limited to submit its audited financial statement for the year ended December 31, 2022, by April 30, 2023.

The GSE said E.S.L.A. and Daakye indicated that due to the various extensions to the final settlement of the government’s Domestic Debt Exchange Programme, the companies were unable to schedule with their external auditors to commence and complete their audit to enable them to submit their audited financial statements.

It is for this reason that the date for the submission of their audited financial statements has been extended.

Also, the exchange pointed out that Samba indicated that its Board of Directors were yet to review the report for approval before the auditors complete and sign off on the audit process.

It is against this background that the date for filing the 2022 audited financial statements has been extended.

The GSE has this year granted several extensions to listed companies because of the challenges the economy went through in 2022.
