KSF ministry two task leader positions since 2014

The KSF ministry holds two positions with the task leader since 2014. This, according to the National Audition Office, is illegal, as the law says in case of the remains of a free position in civil service, the task leader cannot be named longer than three months.

“We have identified two cases where department directors were assigned task handlers since 2014”, it says. The KSF Ministry's financial audit report.

According to ZKA, the risk of this finding is that the performance of officials in those positions is not good. As a result, this may affect the overall performance of the organization.

Another audience find was the late execution of the capital investment budget.

If we look at budget movements in this category between the initial and final budgets, we see that this category was reduced to 14.489,83. Although some of the factors that have influenced this were out of management by the MSF, the issue leaves room for further improvement. Furthermore, the budget spending dynamic was not in full harmony with the money flow plan, as about 50% of the budget for capital investments was spent in the last quarter”, It says the ECA report.

According to the National Audition Office, it risks weakening the ministry's overall financial performance. According to the ZKA, spending the budget at the end of the year affects increasing volume of work and therefore increases the possibility of certain payments escaping adequate controls and may follow through with concessions or errors.

The violations have also been found in the procurement process. The audience has found that in four cases of procurement the evaluation process had been delayed from 19 to 26 days beyond legal deadlines.

“Arsyet of such delays according to the procurement department are: lack of staff in the procurement office and for the first time implementation of the electronic procurement platform, with what happens sometimes that it has not worked or has after difficulties in downloading/loading the” documents, said the ZKA report.

The risk of delays in the development of evaluation procedures, according to the ZKA, in addition to opposing legislation in force, also increases the risk of capital projects having delays in implementation. This could result in failure to achieve organisation's goals

The KSF ministry, according to the audience, has not applied even the preliminary recommendations of the 2016 one.

“The risk of full implementation of recommendations affects the failure to improve the identified weaknesses, and as a result, we continue to have the same shortcomings” repeated, It says in the report.

Monitoring the risks and regular review of these risks has not been implemented by the MSF. According to the audience, the risk registry must have a regular date and review (recommunicational revisions) to determine whether actions are taken as planned and whether any changes have been made in risk assessments.

The revised risk registry must be released after each revision and updated as necessary, The MSF had made annual monitoring of the list of risks, but not on three-month bases as required with the MFK procedures”, said the ZKA report.

By SHAA, lack of monitoring and constant review of management risks increases the risk that the organisation's objectives will not be fully achieved. Consequently, this could result in the delivery of non-quality services.
