Auditor General Deodat Sharma says that auditing of the financials of Atlantic Hotel Inc (AHI) for the years 2016 to 2021 is ongoing but his office is not to be blamed for the seven-year blackout as the process was delayed because the documents it had requested from the National Industrial and Commercial Investments Limited (NICIL) were not forthcoming.
“We are at about 2017. In the 2020 report you would be able to see that under NICIL. It [the process] was delayed and it was delayed under NICIL’s part not producing the information for the queries that we had,” Sharma told the Stabroek News.
