December 31, 2013
Limitations:
Our procedures did not constitute an audit, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion on the financial statements or specified elements, accounts or items thereof. Accordingly, we are unable to express such an opinion on the financial statements at the conclusion of our work. In submitting our report to you, we wish to emphasize that internal control is a process, effected by the Board of the Operator/Company, Senior Management and other employees, designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute assurance that risks, including fraud risks, are properly managed to ensure the achievement of the organization’s financial, operational and regulatory compliance objectives.
It is important to recognize that there are inherent limitations in the audit process. For example, our procedures are generally based on the concept of selective testing of the data being examined and are, therefore, subject to the limitation that material errors, fraud and other illegal acts having a direct and material financial impact, if they exist, may not be detected. Also, because of the characteristics of fraud, particularly those involving concealment through collusion and falsified documentation (including forgery), an Audit may not detect a material fraud. We will however, communicate to you as appropriate, any illegal act, material errors or evidence that fraud may exist, identified during the course of our work.
Our deliverables are intended solely for the use of the recipients as mentioned in our Letter of Engagement.
Section I: Executive SummaryA. Overview

Review of a sample 150 invoices highlighted 17 instances where
payments were not in line with contract resulting in overpayments to
contractors:
a. Excess rates charged: In 9 invoices, Unit rates (day rates)
charged for well test operators were not in line with agreed rates
as per contract resulting in overcharging of USD 39,253.

2. Withholding tax amounting to USD 106, 806 not
deducted on payments to vendor: As per Article 11 of EPC
agreement, Operator is required to deduct withholding tax at
the rate of 10% while making payment non-resident vendors for
work being carried out. However it was noticed that withholding
tax amounting to USD 106,806 has not been deducted in 4
instances (3 vendors) leading to non-compliance to EPC terms

Online search of the an advertisement expenses incurred in 2012
amounting to USD 138,654 highlighted that such expenditures were
incurred as part of the parent company promotion activity for the
Mozambique project. The 8 page colour advert was printed for the sole
promotion of APC with no reference / logo of JV partners. Further all
corporate references were in the name of Anadarko Petroleum
Company (including NYSE stock ticker: APC, website & TV links. Refer

3 Advance payment of USD 6 Mn made to Dolphin drilling
outstanding for over 2 years
The operator had given an advance of USD 6Mn to Dolphin Drilling in
2011 to compensate for time value of money over their tax obligations
in Mozambique however:
• The terms and conditions (agreement) of advance paid were not
provided for our review
• Per our review of expense ledger (JADE) and discussion with
operator, it was not an interest bearing advance
• Advance has not been received back from Dolphin Drilling up to
Dec’2013
• Operator needs to
define a policy for
advance payments
clearly highlighting
the scenarios
wherein advance
payments can be
made
• Ensure timely
recovery or
adjustment of
advances paid to
vendors
At the time this transaction was entered into, there was
an expectation of the partnership receiving a refund of
the $6 million advance and we continue to believe that
Dolphin Drilling has a right to receive a refund from the
Government of Mozambique.
We will request that our internal auditors conduct a
review of the Dolphin Drilling records on this matter
during the next round of vendor audits in Mozambique.
Implementation Timeline : Operator is monitoring
the receipt of the refund with E&Y Maputo who
represents Dolphin Drilling with the Tax Authorities.

4 Aviation expenditure charged wholly to offshore block
Total spend on aviation expenditure (charter hire and fuel costs) for
the year 2012 and 2013 was USD36 million (USD 8.4 mm directly
charged to offshore block in 2012 and USD 27 mm charged through
camp cost allocations in 2012-2013). Annexure 5
It was noted that the whole amount of aviation expenditure was
charged to offshore block. Flight manifests are not obtained from
vendors (actual flying hours with requisite information such as
name / ID of personnel with block details). As a result, amount
allocable to onshore block cannot be ascertained.
It is to be noted that allocation principles followed by operator
during previous years (Nov 2009 and prior: 50% onshore and 50%
offshore, Dec 2009: 25% onshore and 75%offshore, Jan 2010
• Flight manifests should be
obtained from vendors and
allocation of aviation
spending should be done
basis actual flying hours for
respective blocks
Flights manifests are being maintained by the
Operator. The manifest may not display the all the
information in the manner suggested by the
Auditors. The Onshore Block had no activity
during 2013, which is the reason that very few
aviation related charges were allocated to the
Onshore Block. In addition to Flights manifests,
there is also a travel request form whereby the
relevant cost object is specified by the Requestor.
This data is used to segregate travelers costs by
project.

onwards: 100%offshore). As informed, there was a reasonable
activity in onshore block during 2012 and 2013
PwC Comments
The operator should obtain flight manifest with
the requisite details from the vendor (along with
the invoice). Allocation of aviation spending
should be done basis actual flying hours for
respective blocks.
Alternatively, the allocations may be based on
information captured through travel request form
whereby the relevant cost object is specified by
the Requestor.

Agreement (JOA), the expenditures used to calculate the
monthly indirect charge shall not include expenditures in
the nature of third party claim settlement however it was
noted that in Dec’2012, legal settlements amounting to USD
4.5 Mn were included in expenditure for calculation of

6 Intercompany charges settled through bank
account grossed up (for withholding tax) resulting
in possibility of over-charge to joint account: As per
JOA if Operator or affiliate is subject to WHT as a result of
services performed at cost, its charges for services may be
grossed up by the amount of taxes. Per our discussion with
operator, PCO & other intercompany charges (I/C) were
settled through bank account in Mauritius (country with a
double taxation treaty with Mozambique) after grossing up.
Details are as follows
• I/C charges up to Nov’12 have been settled after grossing
up by 10% WHT (Total gross up of USD3.84 mm charged
to joint account in 2014 for the period Jan’12 to Nov’12)
• No settlement done for I/C charges booked post Dec’12.
Estimated total gross up for the period Dec’12 to Nov’13
is USD 6.5 MM. Annexure 7 & 8
• Operator should not
deduct WHT on
transactions covered by
double taxation treaty,
which result in
additional charges to
joint account
• In case of any risk
highlighted by tax
auditors, Operator
should communicate the
same to JV partners and
additionally seek
opinion from
independent third-party
consultant over the
matter.
This matter has been tabled at the Accounting Sub-committee and
external opinions obtained to support the conclusions presented by
the Operator for the gross up resulting in no overcharge to the Joint
Account. Day rate charges for this period (Dec’12 to Nov’13) were
only grossed up after obtaining the external opinions in 2015.

sub – committee). As per the requirement of JOA, operator shall furnish
a description of its allocation procedures pertaining to the costs and its
rates for personnel and other charges, along with each proposed Work
Program and Budget.

expenses allocated between offshore and onshore block post July’13 was
• Operator should ensure
compliance to terms of JOA
• Operator should apply
allocation procedures as per

• Allocation based on capital
spending estimates should be
actualised on a periodic basis
a) Operator will implement the
recommendation.
b) The Operator reviewed the allocation
percentages along with the revision of the
2013 Budget. Partners were verbally
advised in the Accounting Subcommittee
meeting of September 17th, 2013 of revised
allocation procedures. This was not
provided in writing. It was explained to
Partners that there were no Onshore Block
operations during 2013; thus, the rationale

based on a rough estimate of capital spend i.e. 99.2 : 0.8. Further
allocation was not re-instated based on actual spending. Considering
the agreed allocation rule of 90:10, there was overcharging to the extent
of USD 1.1 mm to offshore block. Annexure 10 & 11
Actual total spend for Offshore block (overall) was USD 908 million
(as per budget vs actual) which lower by the above estimate by 10%

to equitably adjust the allocation
procedures per section 1.9 of Annexure C of
the JOA.
PwC Comments:
b) Change in original G&A allocation
principle (furnished in accounting sub-
committee)should have been formally
communicated / brought to attention of JV
partners.
The change in principle has resulted in an
overcharge of $ 1.1 mm to the joint account
and is not in line with the process defined
as per JOA.

c) Expenses excluded from G&A allocation without adequate
justification
• Contribution (CSR expenses) excluded from G&A allocation
resulting in overcharging to offshore block and undercharging to
onshore block by USD 99,831. Annexure 12
• Legal, Consulting & Audit charges (incurred by AMA1
~USD1.44million) which are a part of Maputo office costs are not
allocated to onshore block
On review of 15 audit and investment certification invoices (KPMG)
amounting to USD 0.13 million, it was noted that these charges
• Operator should ensure
compliance to terms of
JOA
• Operator should apply
allocation procedures as
per furnished principles
• Allocation based on
capital spending
estimates should be
actualised on a periodic
basis
c) The CSR expenses are solely for the Offshore Block.
Legal, Consulting and Audit charges mainly related to
the Legal and Professional services associated with
the ongoing Offshore Block commercial negotiations
with the Government of Mozambique. These are
specific costs to the Offshore Block and its inclusion
in the cost pool would not be considered fair and
equitable.
The exclusion of the audit fees and other such
expenses is due to the fact that these charges were
accounted for in the same account as other

9 Inadequate control over affiliate charges
All affiliate charges (Houston based costs) recorded in JV
books are based on time booked in time writing system
(CATS) and rates certified by statutory auditors. Noted
following issues w.r.t affiliate charges:
• No maker checker control over time booked in CATS
system. There was no process of approval or sign off of
time booked to ensure accuracy.
• Un-reconciled difference of USD1.4 million noted in T/W
report and actual amount booked in joint account for the

2012 charges (JADE) by the operator. Annexure 15

(Total cost - USD 0.53 million for 2012) Annexure 16
• Further, KPMG certified rates were based on 1784 working

assumptions (category,
hours etc.)
Annual worked hours in excess of the average 1,784 per year
occurs when the employee records time related to prior year
in the current period and when the employee does not take
leave during the period. Both instances do not represent over
recovery of costs, but a timing difference. The time writing
system does not allow the employee to record more than 9
hours per day, hence overtime is therefore not booked.
The unaudited rates are related to time writing for employees
charged from Anadarko’s UK affiliate. The number of
employees and the insignificance of the charges did not
justify obtaining a separate KPMG certification on these
rates. Upon request, the rates are available for auditor’s
review.

10 Time writing costs charged by the Operator for non-technical staff
outside of Mozambique: Section 2.5 & 3.1 (j) of accounting procedure of EPC
provides that for services rendered outside Mozambique for managing the
Petroleum Operations and for providing assistance including financial, legal,
accounting & employee relations services, Parent Company Overhead (PCO)
charge at a fixed percentage of the contract costs is allowable. Section 3 of the
accounting procedure of JOA contains similar provisions. Operator is charging
PCO based on the above provisions.
However the above practice of charging time writing costs for non-technical
resources as well as PCO may not be in compliance with EPC & JOA as this may
result in duplication of charges for the same type of services. Amount charged in

adhered to:
(iii) A copy of the list of pre-qualified bidders shall be submitted
to INP for information.
(iv) Before major contracts are awarded, INP shall be advised of
the Operator's recommendations for information.
For sample of 31 vendors, documents evidencing such
compliance to procurement procedures shared with INP &

of the list of pre-qualified bidders submitted to INP for
information & communication to INP of the Operator's

1 & 2) At the time of the audit, these procedures were being reviewed and had not been
made effective, therefore the new procedures were not made available to the auditors.
The procedures alluded to in the finding have been modified by a different practice
between the Operator and INP that have never been formalized. Through the
correspondence exchanged and the several clarifications on the requests submitted,
can be derived the procedures that are currently being followed. For example, in the
referred correspondence INP does not request bidders list when there is a request for
sole source approval. On the other hand, upon submission of bidder list INP derives its
comfort with regards that the Operator is tendering for its goods and services.

3) The Operator does not tender for personnel. The Operator's approach is to hire the
best qualified individual for the relevant job. In addition, the Operator maintain its
position that procurement regulations does not apply for personnel.
PwC Comment: The procurement procedure applies to procurement of all material
and services and the EPCC does not contain and specific reference to or exclusion of
manpower services. Such costs may be non recoverable due to non compliance to
procurement procedures.

• Delay in intimation to INP: For 9 contracts (~USD 58 mm) delay
ranging from 9 to 590 days noted in intimation of contract award to INP

• Non-compliance to INP requirement: Two contracts (~USD 5 mm)
rejected by INP with requirement to re-tender however, the same were not
re-tendered by the operator. Annexure 25
• Bidder list not furnished to other partners: Operator did not seek
nominations from other concessionaires in 9 cases (~USD32.64 million)

4) a) The delay in the intimation to INP have resulted from inadvertent
communication failures.
b) Upon rejection of the Solenta contract, the Operator advised INP that
for operational and safety reason, its recommendation could not be
immediately implemented. In relation to the Construction contract, it
was not possible to tender for the services after the construction was in
