90/10 split between the two companies. Westminster Nominees Limited has 90% of the shares in Cahill and is an old company. Lambeth Nominees Limited has 10% of the shares in Cahill is a BRAND NEW COMPANY incorporated in April 2014. The finders fees is 10% I guess but who is the owner of this money? It could be worth tens of millions of and when Cahill Barbados is sold the the highest bidder.

The Bribery Act 2010 was introduced to update and enhance UK law on bribery including foreign bribery in order to address better the requirements of the 1997 OECD anti-bribery Convention. It is now among the strictest legislation internationally on bribery. Notably, it introduces a new strict liability offence for companies and partnerships of failing to prevent bribery.

The Bribery Act 2010 does not apply in Guernsey as it’s not part of the UK. Guernsey has its own anti-bribery law. Interestingly, there doesn’t ever seem to have been a conviction for bribery or corruption under Guernsey law.
I have always wondered why people run businesses out of places like Guernsey. It must be advantageous tax laws, I guess.

The lady (carpet bagger) with the big hair was asked by a member of the audience as to why Barbados was selected ahead of other Caribbean countries with regard to this project. This was her reply:
“Barbados has an educated population, which is really important . . . . Also, Barbados is an international business centre. That’s very important when you are running a business like this, that you can conduct normal business in a normal way. So Barbados was the ideal choice,” Cowan explained. Source: Barbados Today
If someone could explain to me the word normal as used in this context then I would be most grateful.
Good day to all.

If these folks are up to any hanky-panky the Canada Revenue Agency will be happy to hear from you:
Informant Leads Program
As announced in Economic Action Plan 2013, the CRA has launched the Offshore Tax Informant Program (OTIP) that offers financial awards to individuals with information about major cases of international tax non-compliance resulting in more than $100,000 of additional federal tax being assessed and collected. Please visit the OTIP website for more information, including how to make a submission.
Beware of fraudulent communications:
The CRA is warning Canadians that fraudulent emails purporting to be from the Agency are currently circulating. See examples of these scams.
The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) takes abuse of Canada’s tax laws very seriously. When an individual or business does not fully comply with tax legislation, an unfair burden is placed on law-abiding taxpayers and businesses and the integrity of Canada’s tax base is jeopardized.
The mandate of the Informant Leads Program is to coordinate all leads that the CRA receives from informants, to determine if there is an element of non-compliance with tax legislation, and ensure that the information is reviewed and provided to the corresponding compliance program for appropriate enforcement action.
For more information, see Frequently asked questions.
How to report suspected tax evasion
You can report suspected tax evasion over the Internet or by contacting the National Leads Centre. Your identity will not be disclosed and you may provide information anonymously.

Canada Revenue Agency. Offshore Tax Informant Program
http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/gncy/cmplnc/otip-pdife/menu-eng.html
The Government of Canada is committed to protecting Canada’s tax base and ensuring public confidence in the fairness and integrity of the tax system. Canadians are allowed to structure their tax affairs in such a way in order to reduce the amount of tax owing – Registered Retirement Savings Plans and Tax-Free Savings Accounts are two examples of legal, beneficial ways that Canadians can reduce their taxes owing.
Investments outside the country are not illegal. Canadians who invest outside the country are in compliance with Canada’s tax laws as long as they report all of the income earned outside Canada.
However, the Government of Canada and Canadian tax administrators are concerned about international financial transactions and mechanisms to avoid or evade Canadian tax. When an individual or business does not fully comply with tax legislation, an unfair burden is placed on law-abiding taxpayers and businesses and the integrity of Canada’s tax system is jeopardized.
Launched as part of the Canada Revenue Agency’s (CRA) efforts to fight international tax evasion and aggressive tax avoidance, the new Offshore Tax Informant Program (OTIP) allows the CRA to make financial awards to individuals who provide information related to major international tax non-compliance that leads to the collection of taxes owing. The OTIP draws on international best practices from across the globe. A number of member countries of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) also provide rewards for information regarding taxpayer non-compliance. The United States Internal Revenue Service, for example, has a Whistleblower Office that rewards individuals who come forward with information on major cases of tax evasion. International tax non-compliance is a focus of all developed nations, particularly members of the G-20, and the CRA’s actions to combat this non-compliance are part of this global effort.

We have a right to know who will control our energy supply, particularly when the company in question is the beneficiary of tax payer funded support.
So, we may not yet know who the beneficiaries are, but we know the CEO is Mrs M.E. Clare Cowan.
Is this the same M.E. Clare Cowan named as CEO of a company called Venture Exchange Network in this annual report filed with the SEC?
http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/vprr/04/9999999997-04-029165
The same Clare Cowan that apparently had companies described as partners “baffled” to be associated with it?
http://www.itbusiness.ca/news/venture-exchange-network-signs-up-heavy-hitters/2159
“”Either it’s a mistake or… No one knows what Venture Exchange Network is or why our name is there.””
The main office of Venture Exchange Network was 55 Queen Street East, Toronto – http://brokercheck.finra.org/Firm/127395
A Google search shows that a few years earlier a Clare Cowan Poirier was Director of a company called 700068 Ontario Ltd which had its address on 12 Queen Street – https://opencorporates.com/companies/ca_ns/2094961
The same Clare Cowan?
Records from the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia show that 700068 Ontario Ltd traded as Peartree Home Marketing Consultants – http://caselaw.canada.globe24h.com/0/0/nova-scotia/supreme-court-of-nova-scotia/1990/10/05/cleary-v-nova-scotia-attorney-general-1990-4152-ns-sc.shtml

When I look at the monies in those documents I saw 0.00 or a maximum of 500 pounds. I saw (somewhere) where cash in hand was 259 pounds and the assets less than the liabilities.
Given the sum of monies I have seen, are we talking about a $770.00 project or a $770 M dollars project. Can someone explain to me how the 10 links provided by David can lead to someone awardin a $770 M contract.

Total Assets = $30,649.
Total Revenue = nil
DD is guessing that the Cahill Balance Sheet has about the same level of assets and revenue.
DD has Googled Venture Exchange Network, Inc. and its parent Goldcare Indutiae Inc. -which had registered the trademark MASTERMIND.
Lots of hits on both names, but nothing substantive; just PR fluff and listings in business directories
M. E Clare Cowan was the CEO of both.
Goldcare was described as being a management consultant, and appears to have been active from mid 1990s to early 2000s
Venture surfaced in about 2002, and was around until about 2004. On its website Venture Exchange Network describes itself as a revolutionary and interactive listing, screening and matching service for entrepreneurs, and private equity investors. We are determined to help entrepreneurs obtain venture financing while uncovering the best high technology companies for investors. Venture Exchange Network is the only service that screens entrepreneurs for minimum criteria and then uses a hands-on analysis and systematic approach to identify the venture capitalist most likely to provide funding to the new startup.
Can find no details of any deals done by either.
It is interesting that M. E.Clare Cowan seems to have left the face of the earth from 2004 until resurfacing in 2012 as CEO of Cahill Energy Limited (Guernsey), and then in Barbados in March 2014 announcing Cahill signed a historic agreement with the Government of Barbados on 15th March 2014 to build and operate a leading edge clean energy plant.
