Outside auditors to monitor flows of oil funds to Venezuela, Bessent says

WASHINGTON, Feb 4 (Reuters) - The U.S. Treasury will bring in outside auditors to monitor the flow of oil funds to Venezuela, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told lawmakers on Wednesday.

Bessent told the House Financial Services Committee that he was not aware of an agreement already in place to ensure such auditors, but said he would coordinate with Secretary of State Marco Rubio to share any such agreement with the committee.
