Audit office to review sale of first oil cargoes

Deodat Sharma

The Audit Office of Guyana will be auditing the sale of the first three million barrels of Guyana’s oil to ensure that it is transparent as government’s explanation of the process does not make sense, Auditor General Deodat Sharma has said.

“There are a lot of things that just don’t make sense because you have an explanation that there was no procurement and no law was breached but a sale is a service and it is a procedure,” Sharma told Stabroek News yesterday.

“So, we will audit the process to ensure it is transparent. The Audit Office will look at the whole process,” he added.
