Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim announced that a forensic audit to determine the cause of Felda's substantial financial loss would be presented to the upcoming Cabinet meeting. This was confirmed during an interview with reporters following the National Maulidur Rasul 1448T/2026 Celebration at Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) in Serdang.

The purpose of this forensic audit is to uncover any potential abuse of power, breaches of trust, or instances of maladministration that may have contributed to Felda's nearly RM10 billion loss. Deputy Prime Minister Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi had previously called for such an investigation, emphasizing the importance of thoroughly examining any suspected governance failures.

Anwar had previously stated that he would await the complete report from the Special Task Force probing issues related to Felda's management before announcing any official findings. The task force had commenced its work, with its report anticipated to be presented shortly before being made public, akin to the recent Royal Commission of Inquiry report on Lembaga Tabung Haji.
