Former Auditor General Anand Goolsarran has flayed the award of a second audit of oil costs to the local consortium VHE considering the questions raised about its performance on the yet unfinished examination of a whopping US$7.3b in ExxonMobil expenses.

While both government and the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) remain mum on the status of the second cost oil audit for which there has been criticisms of the quality of work, Goolsarran, has voiced his disapproval of the awarding of another audit to the same contractor.
