Key Exxon audit still ‘in its final stages of approval’

Vickram Bharrat

Three years since it was first completed and submitted, followed by promises that it will be made public, government says that the IHS Markit audit of ExxonMobil’s US$460 million pre-contract costs is still being reviewed by the company.

“The report is being submitted for review and is in its final stages of approval,” Minister of Natural Resources Vickram Bharrat told the Sunday Stabroek when asked about the report.

It is about the sixth time over the two-year period that the PPP/C has been in office that he has given similar “final stages” responses.
