companies operating in Sudan based on reporting in 2009 included the four national companies CNPC China National Petroleum Corporation, KPC
Kuwait Petroleum Corporation, ONGC Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (Indian NOC) and Petronas
. Petroliam Nasional Berhad. Transparency International audited these companies corporate reporting on anti-corruption programmes, organisational disclosure and country-level disclosure in the world including in Sudan until February 2011 towards enhancing the transparency and accountability of oil and gas revenues. According to the report (Why transparency in the oil and gas sector matters , page 5) Oil and gas producers transfer considerable funds to host governments – in the form of license fees, royalties, dividends, taxes and support for local communities. These financial inflows should contribute substantially to social and economic development, yet many resource-rich countries have been unable to transform resource wealth into wellbeing. All African companies scored zero in reporting on anti-corruption programmes. In general the country-level disclosure in Sudan had opportunities for improvement.
