Concerns Raised Over Speed of Dominican Republic Government Audits

Concerns Raised Over Speed of Dominican Republic Audit Approvals Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic – The Cámara de Cuentas recently approved three significant audit reports in a remarkably short timeframe of just 35 days. This has prompted concerns from public figures, including commentator Federico Jovine, who appeared on the program "Despierta con CDN." The reports cover the National Institute for Comprehensive Early Childhood Care (INAIPI), the Ministry of Finance, and the Ministry of Industry, Commerce, and MSMEs. Jovine questioned the thoroughness of such expedited audits, stating, "Evidentemente, una auditoría no se hace en 35 días, porque eso es lo que tiene esa cámara." (Clearly, an audit is not done in 35 days, because that's what that chamber has.) The rapid approval raises questions about whether the necessary level of scrutiny was applied to the financial dealings of these key government entities. The public is left wondering if potential irregularities were overlooked in the rush to finalize the reports. Further investigation is needed to ensure transparency and accountability in government spending.
