Government Audit

A government audit is the process through which the way government entities manage public resources, comply with the law and meet their objectives is reviewed, evaluated and verified. Its main purpose is to ensure that public funds and assets are used efficiently, transparently, economically and in accordance with the law.

Why is it necessary?

It promotes transparency by making it possible to know how public funds are used and what results are obtained. It strengthens accountability, because officials and entities must justify their decisions and the use of the resources they manage. It prevents and detects irregularities, helping to identify errors, fraud, corruption, waste of resources or non-compliance. And it improves public management, because the resulting recommendations make it possible to correct deficiencies and optimize processes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are governments audited?

Because they manage resources that are not their own. The audit verifies that spending was carried out in accordance with the law and the approved budget, and gives citizens and oversight bodies an independent review of how those resources were used.

How often should they be audited?

The review of the public account is annual and follows the calendar set by the regulations applicable to each entity. In addition, specific audits may be carried out on particular programs, public works or funds.
