Key Steps

• Use one excel workbook per fiscal year covered. If the reporting on both oil & gas and mining, both can fit into one workbook
• Fill in the entire workbook
• The Transparency sheet should be submitted to the EITI International Secretariat ahead of the commencement of Validation, alongside the data collection templates related to 'Stakeholder engagement' and 'Outcomes and impact'. Send it to your country manager at the International Secretariat
• The template will be used as the basis for the country's Validation. You will receive the file back with questions and comments, to be addressed as part of the Validation process
