The head of the Parliament’s commission on economy, budget and finance Veaceslav Ionita requested the Prosecutor General’s Office to examine the Audit Office report on the administration of financial resources and public patrimony in 2012, which was presented in the November 22 sitting of Parliament by the Audit Office chairman Serafim Urecheanu. Veaceslav Ionita also asked announcing a contest to select an international audit company that will verify the data included in the report, IPN reports.
According to Veaceslav Ionita, the report was published on October 3, but it contains a sub-report on the expenditure at the Academy of Sciences of Moldova dating from October 7. Veaceslav Ionita admitted that the report was examined by the commission he heads, but said the infringement at that stage wasn’t identified.
Serafim Urecheanu told the journalists that the report contains no violation and he is afraid of no international commission. According to him, not everyone liked the data included in the report because they revealed deviations at the state institutions, which caused damage of 8 billion lei to the budget. The Audit Office report covers about 360 institutions.
