The second audit report of ExxonMobil’s US$7.4 billion in costs which the Vitality Accounting, Haynes and Ramdihal and Eclisar Financial (VHE) consortium had undertaken in 2022 was handed over to the government and was sent to ExxonMobil last week, Minister of Natural Resources Vickram Bharrat has said.
The US oil major, which said it racked up US$7.4 billion in costs between 2018 to 2020 now has 60 days to respond, Bharrat explained. He said that the report “will be placed online like the other, next week”.
Lead of the VHE consortium Floyd Haynes had on Friday told this newspaper, “A final report was delivered to the MNR [Ministry of Natural Resources] and GRA [Guyana Revenue Authority]. The audit report was done on behalf of the GOG. It is now the property of the government.”
