The audit under review dealt with ExxonMobil’s local subsidiary’s spending from 1999 to 2017. This audit is the first ever one conducted on cost claims by ExxonMobil Guyana Limited, previously known as Esso Exploration and Production Guyana Limited (EEPGL), for the pre-production period
Though the government is now finalising the audit and the US$214 million claims based on the GRA’s advice, Jagdeo doesn’t believe that the unauthorised engagement would influence any move to arbitration so Guyana can get back any money it is owed.
