NDB Bank in Sri Lanka has announced that a forensic investigation conducted by Deloitte has confirmed a total fraud amount of 13,639,664,684 rupees. This figure represents a slight increase from the 13,579,664,684 rupees previously disclosed in June 2026.

Following guidelines from the Central Bank of Sri Lanka’s Director of Bank Supervision, Deloitte was tasked with submitting its findings directly to the central bank to ensure an impartial review.

Legal proceedings are currently underway against those responsible, and the matter has been reported to law enforcement. NDB Bank is exploring options to reclaim the misappropriated funds, including the potential use of an international agency specializing in tracing stolen assets. Additionally, the bank has initiated internal measures against individuals identified as having facilitated the fraud through collusion or supervisory lapses.
