The Union of Administrative Workers of Petro-Peru (STAPP) expressed concern about the information released by this newspaper last Wednesday, which shows that the state company would have fixed the figures in its 2025 financial statements to minimize its losses.
And it is that one audit developed by PwC rrevealed that Petro-Perú did not lose US$468 million in 2025, as it initially reported, but US$601 million.

Furthermore, the auditing firm said it had found a serious material misstatement, due to “fraud or error”, which could influence the company’s economic decisions, and attributed responsibility to management.
In this regard, STAPP requested that a transparent internal evaluation and the corresponding responsibilities are determined, implementing immediate corrective measures, but respecting due process.
This, in order to strengthen internal control, financial transparency, contingency management and decision making based on technical criteria.
“Our union organization observes that there would have been a poor evaluation by the responsible areas, which would have prevented the company from adopting, at the time, decisions with less economic impact“said the union.
He stressed that it is not acceptable that omissions, delays or management deficiencies end up generating higher costs for Petro-Perú or aggravating its economic and financial situation.
Along these lines, he demanded that the responsible officials act with greater diligence, efficiency and effectivenessbecause “Their actions directly impact the company’s assets, its sustainability, its institutional image and compliance with its labor, contractual and financial obligations.”.
Likewise, he rejected that is intended to be transferred to the workers the consequences of decisions that correspond to directive and managerial levels.
“Workers daily support the functions of support, control, logistics, management, operation and business continuity; Therefore, they cannot be held responsible for errors or omissions of those in charge of running the company.”, stated STAPP.
