Article 13 calls on Auditor General to withdraw ‘clean’ opinion on NRF financials

Civil society grouping Article 13 has called on the Auditor General to withdraw his “clean” audit opinion on the financial statements of the Natural Resource Fund (NRF) for the years 2020 and 2021.

The group said that it is making the call following a review of the financial statements for the Fund for the 2021 fiscal year.

Article 13 said that as part of its review, which was conducted by professional accountants within and outside of Guyana, a determination was sought as to whether the audited financial statements complied with the Natural Resources Fund Act of 2021.
