You receive a detailed gap report within 24 hours plus a complete remediation plan to achieve full compliance fast.

Local content audit

We verify your full compliance with the Guyana Local Content Act 2021 — the law that gives Guyanese businesses legal priority over foreign competitors for oil sector contracts. We check your CLBD registration status, Guyanese ownership documentation, Guyanese employment percentages, local supplier spending records, and reporting obligations. Non-compliance with the Local Content Act can cost you your priority status with ExxonMobil, Hess, CNOOC, TotalEnergies, and all their subcontractors.

Covers: CLBD registration · Guyanese ownership proof · Employment tracking · Local spending records · Reporting compliance
$5,000 – $30,000 per project

Financial audit

We review your company's financial records, internal controls, tax compliance, and reporting standards to meet the financial requirements of ExxonMobil, Hess, Baker Hughes, Saipem, and Subsea 7 vendor programmes. We check your GRA tax filings, VAT compliance, financial statement quality, segregation of duties, contractor billing documentation, and audit readiness. Companies with poor financial controls are increasingly being removed from oil sector vendor lists.

Covers: GRA tax compliance · VAT registration · Financial controls · Internal audit readiness · Contractor billing · IFRS standards

HSE audit

Health, Safety and Environment compliance is mandatory for every contractor working with ExxonMobil, Hess, SBM Offshore, Schlumberger, Halliburton, Weatherford, and McDermott. We audit your HSE management system, safety inspection records, OSHA and BOSIET staff certifications, incident reporting procedures, emergency response plans, and Guyana EPA environmental compliance. A failed HSE audit can result in immediate contract suspension — even for companies that have been working in the sector for years.

Covers: HSE management system · OSHA 30 · BOSIET certification · Safety inspection records · Incident reporting · EPA compliance

We assess your company against the full vendor qualification requirements of ExxonMobil, Hess, CNOOC, SBM Offshore, Schlumberger, Halliburton, Baker Hughes, Saipem, and GSBI. We review your supplier portal registrations, insurance coverage, technical capability documentation, past performance records, quality certifications, and Local Content status. We then prepare your complete vendor qualification package — everything you need to get approved and stay approved.

Operational audit

We review your complete business operations against the standards required by oil sector operators and their major contractors. We assess your written procedures and standard operating processes, HR policies and employment contracts, quality management systems, contract management, business continuity planning, and risk management frameworks. As ExxonMobil and Hess tighten their vendor standards in 2026 operational compliance is becoming a condition of contract renewal — not just initial qualification.

FAQ
Common questions
How long does a compliance audit take? +

A free compliance assessment takes approximately 2 hours — either in person at your office in Georgetown or via Zoom. After the assessment your written gap report is delivered within 24 hours. Full remediation work typically takes 2 to 6 weeks depending on the number and complexity of gaps identified. Emergency engagements can be completed in under 1 week.

What happens if my company fails a compliance audit? +

A failed compliance audit can result in your contract being suspended while you fix the issues, being removed from vendor lists, or being disqualified from future tenders. The good news is that all compliance gaps are fixable. We specialise in emergency remediation for companies that have received compliance warnings — we have helped companies go from failing to fully compliant in as little as 3 weeks. Contact us immediately if you have received a compliance notice.

Do you work with small companies or only large contractors? +

We work with Guyanese oil sector contractors of all sizes — from sole traders and small family businesses to medium-sized companies with 100+ staff. Compliance requirements apply to every vendor regardless of size and small companies are often the ones most at risk because they have less administrative capacity. Our packages are priced to be accessible for businesses of all sizes with options starting from $5,000 USD.

Can you help us register on the ExxonMobil supplier portal? +

Yes — vendor portal registration support is included in our Vendor Qualification Audit service. We have helped numerous Guyanese companies successfully register on the ExxonMobil, Hess, SBM Offshore, Schlumberger, and Halliburton supplier portals. We prepare all your documentation, identify and fix any issues that have caused previous rejections, and submit your application in the format oil companies expect.

What is the difference between your Standard and Complete packages? +

The Standard package includes a full compliance assessment, complete gap remediation, all policy documents written for you, a staff briefing session, and 30 days of post-delivery support. The Complete package includes everything in Standard plus ISO 27001 preparation, a pre-certification audit, an executive board presentation, 90 days of support, and the option to continue with our monthly monitoring retainer. Most clients who want ongoing compliance protection choose the Complete package.

How much does monthly compliance monitoring cost? +

Monthly monitoring starts from $3,000 USD per month (G$627,000 GYD) depending on company size and the number of compliance areas covered. This includes monthly compliance checks, policy and document updates, certification renewal management, quarterly internal audit reports, and on-call advisory support. Clients on monthly monitoring are always audit-ready — they never need to worry about surprise compliance reviews.

Are you 100% Guyanese owned? +

Yes. Guyana Compliance & Risk Advisors is 100% Guyanese owned and operated. We are registered on the Central Local Business Directory (CLBD) and hold a valid Local Content Certificate. Our founder Nehemia Shury holds a BS in Cybersecurity and an MBA and is based in Georgetown, Guyana. As a Guyanese owned business we have the same legal Local Content priority as our clients — which means we understand the system from the inside.

Is the free assessment really free with no obligation? +

Yes — completely free with no obligation whatsoever. The free assessment takes 2 hours and you receive a written gap report showing exactly where your compliance stands. There is no pressure to proceed further. Many clients use the free assessment to understand their compliance status before deciding what action to take. We believe in earning your business through the quality of our work — not through pressure tactics.
