ExxonMobil yesterday received correspondence from the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) notifying it that the IHS Markit audit findings of US$214 million in questionable expenses stands, and that the company should prepare financial transactions to reflect this, sources say.
Commissioner General of the GRA Godfrey Statia yesterday confirmed to the Stabroek News that the letter was dispatched.
The missive to the US oil giant comes on heels of Opposition Member of Parliament Roysdale Forde seeking answers on the scandal. Forde has written to government and the Commissioner of Infor-mation for details on both the audit report, and the contract and job portfolio of Senior Petroleum Coor-dinator in the Ministry of Natural Resources, Gopnauth ‘Bobby’ Gossai, who has been blamed by the Ministry of Natural Resources (MoNR) for decisions pertaining to the reduction of sums.
