The National Oil Corporation (NOC) is considering commissioning the international financial auditing company Deloitte to audit Mellitah and the Arabian Gulf Oil Company.

In a statement Sunday, the NOC said that its head Mustafa Sanalla met with Deloitte representatives on Sunday to discuss the necessary procedures in this regard and means of benefiting from the experience of Deloitte in this field.

The NOC said that this comes within the framework of its interest and keenness to achieve transparency and adherence to the principle of governance in the oil sector.

The international financial audit firm Deloitte had previously audited the accounts of the Central Bank of Libya and its parallel in Al-Bayda under the supervision of the United Nations Support Mission in Libya. It submitted its report in this regard to the Presidential Council and the Government of National Unity weeks ago.
