FIFA keen to investigate financial transactions carried out by CAF

Football’s world governing body FIFA is keen to investigate a host of financial transactions carried out by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) following an audit into the continent’s ruling body.

A joint CAF-FIFA task force ‘believes more information is necessary and recommends further investigations’ into several areas, including CAF’s dealings with French company Tactical Steel.

The 2017 deal with Tactical Steel was notable as CAF canceled an order worth just under $250,000 with sportswear company Puma to take up an alternative order costing four times as much with Tactical Steel, a company with links to a close associate of CAF President Ahmad.

The Task Force’s recommendations come after FIFASecretary General Fatma Samoura’s six-month tenure as General Delegate for Africa ended earlier this month.

Samoura was appointed to the role last August in a bid to help improve the governance of African football.

When her role ended, the joint task force delivered a series of findings, recommendations, and proposals to CAF’s top executives at a meeting in Morocco on 2 February.

While some of these findings focussed on improving infrastructure, refereeing and competitions on the continent, there was also a ‘100-point action plan’ drawn up with regard to good governance.

Among these recommendations were a desire for the following:

  • Reviewing financial payments made between CAF and Lagardere, the French media company that used to operate a billion-dollar television and marketing deal relating to CAF’s leading football competitions
  • Carrying out due diligence on payment from Fifa development fund – Fifa Forward – andCAF itself to all of Africa’s 54 member associations as well as the six zonal unions
  • Investigating allegations of possible mismanagement and misappropriation of funds linked to the CAF Centre of Excellence in Mbankomo, Cameroon
  • Investigating potential fraudulent bank transfers and clarifying ‘the circumstances around (various) incidents to rule out insider involvement’ – and ‘if necessary, file a criminal complaint and take legal action to ensure the recovery of the stolen amounts’
  • Extending the scope of the audit to include the years 2013-14 – and explore ‘the lack of documentation related to financial transactions’ prior to 2015.

The audit of Caf was undertaken by PricewaterhouseCoopers and has yet to be made public, but the clamour for this is likely to grow in the coming days.

Other reforms being pushed by the Task Force include fundamental changes to the way in which CAF is structured, the imposition of term limits for both the CAF President and Executive committee members and the introduction of an independent investigatory unit.

Among a long list of ideas are a desire to install ‘robust compliance procedures’, ‘internal auditing’ and the implementation of a whistle-blowing hotline and policy against retaliation of whistle-blowers.

The deal involving French company Tactical Steel – which has prompted an investigation by anti-corruption authorities, who questioned Ahmad last June, in France – is also on the list, with a recommendation to check ‘value of equipment purchased, check quantities and quality of balls delivered to Member Association, due diligence of bank account holders’.

When the BBC asked CAF why it chose to use the little-known French company, the African body said it turned to them after the desired equipment – football and kits – from Puma could not apparently be obtained in time from a local manufacturer.

Tactical Steel’s website highlights its role in both making and supplying gym equipment but shortly after Ahmad became CAF President in 2017, the company became a key supplier for Fifa’s second-largest confederation.

Ahmad’s then attaché Loic Gerand is an old friend of Romuald Seiller, the Frenchman who owns Tactical Steel.

Despite Gerand’s and Seillier’s long-standing relationship, Ahmad was unequivocal when telling the BBC last year that there was “quite clearly no conflict of interest” for his organization.

Ahmad has previously denied any wrongdoing in regard to the awarding of the contract. There is no suggestion that Ahmad has personally profited from the arrangement, nor Tactical Steel owner Seillier nor Ahmad attaché Gerand.
