ABSA LAUNCHES INVESTIGATION INTO PRE-RELEASED RESULTS
Absa has commenced with a formal investigation into the circumstances that led

of the scheduled date.
"We regard this matter as extremely serious and will be enlisting the services
of an appropriate independent party to conduct the investigation," said Absa`s
Group Chief Executive, Maria Ramos.
Absa has already met with senior representatives of the JSE and they have agreed
to work together to finalise this matter.
