Audits of Agriculture indicate a lack of budgetary transparency

Two internal audits conducted at the Dominican Republic's Ministry of Agriculture have identified 56 instances of procedural non-compliance regarding budgetary transparency. The findings, covering a period starting in September, highlight significant administrative irregularities within the institution.

Specific issues noted in the reports include the execution of payments and contracts lacking necessary supporting documentation. Additionally, the audits uncovered the existence of overdue debts and the provision of vehicle financing to employees without the corresponding payroll deductions.
