This week I presented the report of the third stage of the audit of the public account 2021, with the accumulated result of 2,050 audits. 53 billion pesos were observed in the process of clarifying, which with what was observed in the first two deliveries –those of June and October- add up to 61,853 million pesos.
It is important to mention that the highest amount corresponds to the Federalized spending, approximately four fifths of what is pending, due to the large number of entities to be audited -close to four thousand-, that is: governments of federal entities, municipalities, judicial powers, state public universities, federal public administration agencies, state congresses, etc. Only the fact that we have close to 2,500 municipalities, and in this third installment, we multiply our presence in this order of Government, thanks to technology. let’s not forget the poverty situation and high marginality of a large number of municipalities.
On the other hand, it is important to mention that after the Report has been presented, the Law establishes deadlines so that the entities can clarify and resolve the observations to the audited entities, and to the ASF a space for analysis to resolve, so that the entities clarify or this is transferred to the investigation area and to the legal area later, which, in case of finding damage to the treasury, prepares the corresponding complaints, which are presented, before the Office of the Attorney General of the Republic, with whom we have maintained close coordination and communication.
It is important to note that, at this stage, the observations they cannot be classified as deviations, irregularities or acts of corruption, they enter the clarification process.
The reviews of the federalized spending concentrate in the third stage an observed amount of 45 billion pesos, of which 16 thousand correspond to the federal entities. Thanks to technology we were able to carry out 955 audits In this, with the sum of the two previous stages, we totaled 1,688 audits, the highest historical figure in terms of federalized spending.
Over time, the recurrence of observations has decreased, in the resources transferred via participations and federal resources such as those destined for basic education. Until 2015, with the creation of the FONE instead of the FAEB, it allowed the states to regularize part of the financial problems of basic education, just like the Social Infrastructure Fund, which modified its rules to better meet the needs of the states and municipalities. , as well as giving more transparency to the use of public money.
We recommend you read:
- AMLO, the only one with a project in the páramo
- “The one who decides is you”: Court of the Nation
- Unbridled looting in “the year of Hidalgo”!
- President, you have a problem
- History of dictatorships and failures
The ASF cannot, nor should it ever be, by its very nature, an entity that “collects” resources so that there are budgetary savings, since when they reintegrate into TESOFE, it is the people who lose, since the works scheduled by Congress are not carried out. , for your benefit.
On the other hand, the ASF established better interaction mechanisms with the audited entities and with their heads in the three levels of government, as well as with the comptrollers, that is, with the comptrollers of the Federal Government, of the autonomous organisms, of the federal entities. and of the municipalities. Of course with the Ministry of Public Function.
We will continue to strengthen our auditing force, by establishing a mechanism similar to the one used by the National Fiscal Coordination System, this is an Administrative Collaboration Agreement in Superior Audit Matters with the State Audits, which will contain specific annexes, so that the ASEs collaborate with us on inspection issues, particularly in the municipal area, under certain rules that would not be general since each entity has different capacities, possibilities, budgetary resources and number of municipalities.
