This is a PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT which you could read about in the TRINIDAD NEWSPAPERS. The audit will begin on MONDAY. Now, compare that to the TRANSPARENCY coming from DOCTOR DOLLY as she promised since January (2017) to launch an audit into PAN TRINBAGO and the timeframes and the lack of updates after the initial announcement.
Of course, if you understand THE POLITICS OF T&T, it is always about RACE. So plenty INDIANS from PETROTRIN going and MAKE A JAIL. But not ONE AFRICAN from PAN TRINBAGO going and make ah jail for tiefing that 34 MILLION DOLLARS. We Africans must stick together -- famous quote.
Ah think the only person in the WHOLE WIDE WORLD talking about that FORENSIC AUDIT in PAN TRINBAGO is me. Because I saw the SET UP coming from 26/1/2017 and I knew better!!!

Claude, why waste taxpayers money when pan men and women can use their VOTE for CHANGE.
No one knows how much MONEY Petrotrin is paying for this audit, Kroll don't come cheap their mandate is very SPECIFIC. No jail time expected for anyone...
The Petrotrin audit committee found that crude oil supplies from the Catshill Field spiked by over 150 per cent in a ten-month period and that they paid for oil which was never received. It identified an employee who was involved in the process. The employee is now on leave and has since resigned his post as a director of a state board.
The audit report, which has been questioned by the contractor, has been the subject of internal investigations by the company and a report was submitted to Energy Minister Franklin Khan with findings and recommendations.
On Tuesday, the Petrotrin board is reported to have met and discussed the issue.
The T&T Guardian was told by well placed sources that there was concern the internal report had been turned into a “political football” and had become “mired” in what was described by one director as “a political mess.”
It was eventually felt that an external investigator would bring some semblance of “cleanness” to the process and the board accepted the recommendation of its audit committee to engage Kroll to conduct a forensic investigation into the internal audit report of overage/shortage of crude oil volumes from its Exploration and Production Division to the Pointe-a-Pierre refinery.
Kroll will begin its work on Monday and will report to the board’s Audit Committee on all aspects of its investigation.
The Canadian team has been mandated to conduct a forensic audit into the audit report; find and verify the facts in relation to the report and depending on its findings, is being asked to “identify any relevant parties or entities from the standpoints of accountability and culpability.”
Based on its findings, Kroll is being asked to “identify any systemic inadequacies or short comings which may have contributed to the findings.”
