The reporting template was dispatched to all stakeholders on 13 June 2013. in the third stage we concentrated on the reconciliation of cash flows and volumes relating to the exploration and exploitation of Oil and Solid Minerals declared by extractive companies and Government Agencies. Our reconciliation work was carried out in accordance with the Terms of Reference included in the request for proposal approved by the EITI Committee.
