The cost of the delayed 2020 Tokyo Olympics is 20 per cent higher than organisers said when they announced officials figures more than a year ago, according to a report by the Board of Audit of Japan.
The report, which was released this week, said there was a lack of full disclosure and transparency on the part of the government and the organising committee.
The audit put the cost at 1.7 trillion yen (USD 12.9 billion). Organisers last year put that figure at 1.
