"Given a number of irregularities in the financial discipline of the concern, we informed the government about thу fact [of non-admission]. To get the real picture we planned an audit in order to investigate the effectiveness of the concern's management. However, public auditors were not allowed to the enterprises," she said.

She declined to provide more detailed information.
