The audit revealed that, despite the existence of goals in regulatory acts aimed at strengthening the material and technical base, the actual use of funds from the Development Fund in this area turned out to be extremely low.
“In 2023, 378.2 thousand soms were allocated for strengthening the material and technical base, which accounted for only 1.33% of the total expenditure. In 2024, the amount was 410 thousand soms (0.81%). The majority of the Fund's resources were directed towards employee incentives and social payments. Various incentives and social payments for holidays and commemorative dates are provided for in the collective agreement. During the inspection, cases of multiple bonuses being awarded to individual employees within one month were identified,” the report states.
Violations in accounting and internal control were also identified.
“When writing off fixed assets amounting to 1.5 million soms, the procedure for documenting was violated, and the necessary acts of technical expertise, disposal, and sale were missing,” the agency adds.
Additionally, violations of certain provisions of the KR Law “On State Procurement” were recorded during the procurement of fuel and lubricants.
The audit also revealed ineffective use of budget funds amounting to 1.7 million soms allocated for renting premises in the regions, while measures for the gratuitous acquisition of state premises were not undertaken.
As a result of the inspection, the Audit Chamber of the Kyrgyz Republic issued recommendations aimed at addressing the identified violations in the field of financial and antimonopoly legislation, as well as enhancing the efficiency of budget expenditure and strengthening financial discipline.
