Audit Office Report on Ministry of Finance Grants: Improvements and Challenges
September 9, 2025
The Audit Office published a report regarding the grants provided by the Ministry of Finance in 2023. Improvements were noted in the process, but problems remain in the evaluation and approval of requests. There were instances where the recommendations from the experts varied, and the Minister signed off without always providing justification for decisions. Many grants were found to be non-compliant, and some expenses should have been charged to specific budget appropriations. These observations indicate that despite improvements, the system needs further management and legal oversight.
