On the occasion of the start of the publication of audit reports by the National Audit Office, the Auditor General, Vlora Spanca, said that the audit results have highlighted that there are still fundamental irregularities in the financial management.
Spanca said that compared to previous years, the situation (findings) are even worse. According to her, this is mainly in the municipalities.
“Irregularities are in almost every cycle and area of spending. I am mentioning only a few: Engagement of employees with agreements for special services without respecting public procurement procedures and mainly for regular work and tasks of the organization, shortcomings in the public procurement process, exceeding contract values, shortcomings in contract management, initiation of projects without sufficient commitment of funds, non-payment of bills within 30 days, lack of annual plan of financial support to NGOs and shortcomings in the process of evaluating applications for subsidies,” said Spanca.
