The Superior Auditor of the Federation, David Colmenares Páramo, emphasized the importance of prevention as a key measure to avoid sanctions and improve public management through auditing. During the completion of 1,431 review processes, an amount of 40 billion 800 million pesos was identified for clarification, almost double the figure determined in the 2022 Public Account. Of the total observations in that account, 78% resulted from the Special Audit of Federal Expenditure.
So far, more than 27 billion 200 million pesos have been recovered during the management of the ASF, exceeding the budget assigned to the audit by 156%. A total of 29 Forensic Audits were carried out, particularly highlighting those conducted on various federal and state entities, where an amount for clarification exceeding 6 billion 600 million pesos was determined.
For the 2024 Public Account, it is planned to audit for the first time 7 new entities of the Federal Government, and a new comprehensive audit modality will be implemented to streamline and deepen the auditing processes. The ASF aims to prevent irregularities and contribute to the transformation of the country through more effective on-ground work.
During the third delivery of the Individual Reports and the General Executive Report of the Superior Audit of the 2023 Public Account to the Chamber of Deputies, more than 940 million pesos were recovered in favor of the Federation. Additionally, the Special Performance Audit concluded 122 audits and issued 319 recommendations, highlighting that 95% of these were agreed upon, demonstrating the effectiveness of auditing actions.
The commitment to accountability, transparency, and efficiency in public spending remains fundamental pillars in the work of the Superior Audit of the Federation, as expressed by the president of the ASF Surveillance Commission, Javier Herrera Borunda. In total, 288 Financial Compliance audits were conducted, of which 139 have been delivered in this Public Account.
