As the opposition PPP/C maintains that it is open to an independent probe of the awards of offshore oil exploration blocks to small, unproven companies during its tenure in office, an internationally recognised forensic auditor is open to taking up the task.
Internationally acclaimed forensic accountant and attorney Robert ‘Bob’ Lindquist, who has conducted wide-ranging probes across the world in search of stashed cash and other property, said he has not been approached by Guyanese authorities but he would consider assisting in consultancy or the provision of forensic audit services here.
Lindquist, when contacted by Stabroek News, said that if he were to be contacted by the Government of Guyana or any independent agency to assist in consultancy or the provision of forensic audit services here, “Yes, I would consider.”
