Despite directives by the Committee on Public Enterprises (COPE) on 07 March, 2022, the Sri Lanka Export Credit Insurance Corporation (SLECI) had not appointed an Internal Auditor or established an independent commission to investigate the financial misappropriation and allegations of fraud, and had not prepared a Corporate Plan congruent with the mission statement of the institute, COPE Chairman Professor Ranjith Bandara, said, expressing his displeasure at the fact that despite the repeated insistence no progress had been made.

There are 56 positions in the institute.
