The Auditor General's Department has initiated a comprehensive audit of the Ambuluwaawa Biodiversity Complex, examining land allocation procedures, administrative practices, and financial management amid longstanding public concerns.

The Auditor General's Department has begun a formal audit into the operations and management of the Ambuluwaawa Biodiversity Complex, according to NewsFirst. The inquiry will focus on three primary areas: the procedures followed in allocating land to the facility, the administrative and maintenance practices employed by the institution, and the financial transactions associated with its activities.

The audit initiative follows years of public scrutiny and debate surrounding the land allocation and utilisation practices at the complex. Various stakeholders have previously raised questions about the extent of land granted for the project and how effectively those lands have been managed and used.

Public interest in the facility heightened considerably following Cyclone Ditwah, when landslides affected areas in the vicinity of the Ambuluwaawa Biodiversity Complex. These geological events drew renewed attention to land management practices at the site and prompted calls for greater oversight into the project's operations.
