After the publication of the so-called “Mindich tapes” to “Sense Bank”, many questions arose, namely regarding the appointment of its supervisory board. Therefore, the financial institution initiated an internal audit.
What are the results of the internal audit
Now the audit has been completed, and “Sense Bank” published its results on its official page. At the same time, “Sense Bank” emphasized that the audit covered all transactions of the aforementioned individuals and companies related to them from July 23, 2023, when the bank passed into state ownership, to the present day.
The internal audit confirmed that the conditions for the provision of financial services corresponded to market conditions, and the service processes and contractual relations were carried out in accordance with the requirements of the legislation of Ukraine and the regulatory legal acts of the National Bank of Ukraine, – the statement of the supervisory board says.
At the same time, the bank emphasized that it has never lent money or otherwise financed the following companies:
LTD “Fire Point”;
LLC “Karpatnaftokhim”.
The results of the internal audit were submitted to the shareholder and the regulator for consideration.
At the same time, the supervisory board of “Sense Bank” initiated an additional external audit of the activities with the involvement of an international auditing company in order to satisfy public interest in the work of the financial institution. The results of this audit are also promised to be made public upon completion.
As a reminder, on May 1, “Ukrainska Pravda” published fragments of the so-called “Mindich tapes”. According to journalists, the recordings suggest that the formation of the supervisory board of the state-owned “Sense Bank” could have involved individuals associated with the “Midas” case.
The audio recordings allegedly record a conversation between Oleksandr Tsukerman, a business partner of Timur Mindich, and Vasyl Vesely, who, after the nationalization of the bank in 2023, worked as an advisor to the previous composition of the supervisory board. Vesely allegedly announced a list of desired members of the bank’s supervisory board, who were later appointed by the government.
Against the backdrop of the published materials, on May 12, 2026, the supervisory board of Sense Bank initiated an internal audit.
At the same time, the chairman of the supervisory board of Sense Bank, Mykola Gladyshenko, temporarily resigned from his position for the period of clarification of all circumstances. The performance of his duties was transferred to Petro Novak.
