NSSA audits companies

The National Social Security Authority (NSSA) has launched a two-month audit to verify the compliance by local companies in submitting employee pension contributions amid indications that some firms have been defaulting on their obligations.

The development comes at a time several companies have been accused of failing to remit pensions to the authority.

Experts say the situation has also worsened due to informalisation of the economy.
