Kaieteur News- The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Guyana (ICAG) has suspended the membership of several individuals, one of those individuals, Azzar Haniff of Eclisar Financial and Professional Services.
Eclisar is a part of a local consortium VHE Consulting that was contracted for the third audit of ExxonMobil’s Stabroek Block expense. The suspension was announced in a notice dated November 6, 2024. Haniff and George Vaughn of SFAI Guyana – Vaughn Business Solutions, both have had their ICAG memberships suspended for 2024, meaning they can no longer issue statutory audit opinions under Section 170 of the Companies Act.
