ExxonMobil yesterday steered clear of addressing how it entered into discussions with persons not authorised by the Government of Guyana concerning the US$214 million in questionable expenses cited in an IHS Markit audit report but stated that it acted in “good faith” and cooperated with consultants.
“We have supplied responses and documents to the issues raised in the draft audit report prepared for the Government by their consultant (IHS Markit). We now await a formal response from the Government, after which we will enter into further dialogue as necessary,” the company statement said.
Stabroek News had on Tuesday formally reached out to the company seeking answers to a number of questions on the matter. Its Public and Government Affairs Advisor, Kwesi Isles had on Thursday said that he was awaiting a “sign off” on a response to the email sent.
