Testimony Summary:

Ms. Timoshenko testified that her section provided accounting services to several YUKOS affiliates, including Fargoil, Ratmir, Muskron and others, and drafted accounting and tax statements for these companies. As her section transferred from YUKOS-Invest to YUKOS-FBC, another of her responsibilities was to track short term investments for companies like Alta-Trade. Ms. Timoshenko testified that her department worked closely with auditors from PricewaterhouseCoopers and no one ever asked her to conceal any documents from them. The companies that her section prepared tax statements for were sometimes audited by tax authorities, but any recalculations were insignificant. According to Ms. Timoshenko, during her 10 year tenure at YUKOS, neither her colleagues nor her superiors ever pressured her to do anything illegal.
