The troubles at JSE-listed fishing group Oceana continue, with yet another resignation.

This time it’s the group’s external auditor PwC, which resigned from the role on Friday. Oceana confirmed PwC’s resignation in a Sens on Monday.

“Shareholders are now advised that late afternoon, Friday May 27, 2022 PwC resigned as auditors of the group with immediate effect in respect of the audit of the financial year ending September 2022, due to their assessment of significant doubt as to whether there was objective and transparent communication between the board and PwC given the strained relationship, which they assert constituted a significant impairment of their independence,” the group said.
