Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra has requested an extension for submitting her asset and liability declaration to the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC),

This should not be the only agency to review A&L. The SEC and Department of Revenue should also be in the review. It's more than a matter of "unusual wealth" but how it was kept and/or disbursed.

She has had nearly three months, and still needs more! With such incompetence how can she p;ossibly run the country?

Why the need for the extension its just delaying tactics does she have to hide away some of Pappas  baht 

 

Seems to ring a bell that 2 party leaders got banned for not having totally removed all traces of long since defunct shares in no longer operating media companies. 

 

Three months delay on something that her family 'minders' should have already had all nicely tied up.

Didn't she come from some sort of media career? (My doctor ordered me not to follow Thai politics closely). Surely she has some bits of stock etc floating about which should disqualify her like the hatchet job they did on Pita. And let us not forget the one that got the sack for having a cooking show.

These people are billionaires and the public is suppose to believe they don't have an army of accountants who can produce the necessary paperwork?  Well unless...................

Agree on your initial points but not re the cooking show. He was spending way too much time (shopping for raw materials, planning, recording etc., when he should have been attending to the affairs of state. (Plus there was much comment that the dishes he cooked were very day Thai items nothing special.)

Accountants prepare  the documentation and they have most likely asked for additional documents. She most likely has a  large and complex portfolio. The failure to get it right can result in political attacks and accusations of  a false declaration.

So if they are her long-term professional accountants they should be organized and be continuously monitoring these records to the point where all entitled revenues are received, and all updates of her holdings are recorded promptly, so that a report (as required by law) can be completed accurately and quickly.

Silly man should have taken up golf... look at this world leader (doubt he could boil water) "President Donald Trump has spent 307 days, almost a full year, golfing during his presidency." works out to about 1/5 of his days in office.

I am not defending her, but the paperwork required for the regulatory declarations of senior politicians is significant. It is not the same as standard accounting, even for a large public company. The declarations and supporting documents can literally multiple file boxes. They still do it by paper in Thailand.  One is not required to provide updated organizational  diagrams, share ownership declarations, statements of ownership interest, detailed listing of assets etc. when filing tax declarations. Sometimes the delay isn't the fault of the accountants, ut of  their professional associations or the courts to provide  complete information. Sometimes  liens or actions have been filed on a property where the politician has an interest, but that person is unaware of, there can be outstanding taxes owed by  assets that have been missed etc. the  bigger and more complex the portfolio, the longer the information gathering process.

So if all of the above is already well known how come her staff haven't prepared.

The PM was appointed on 16 August 2024. Less than than 3 months has passed.  I don't believe thatthe accountants request for additional time is unreasonable. Have you ever done statutory filings for a large multinational? The accountants spend much of the year gathering updated information.

The deadline, originally set for November 5, has placed time constraints on the Prime Minister, necessitating additional care in compiling the information

 

Why, daddy haven't figured it out yet?

When you have experience with regulatory filings for large multinational companies,  and/or in filling out the lengthy and detailed questionnaire and supplying the supporting documentation, please come back and criticize.
