Discovering transparent management of public finances in the Democratic Republic of Congo
In a dynamic of transparency and the fight against corruption, an educational session was recently organized at the initiative of the General Inspectorate of Finance (IGF) in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). This session, which took place in the presence of representatives of public companies and the National Association of Portfolio Companies (ANEP), aimed to raise awareness among participants on the importance of rigorous management of finances and public assets.
This initiative is in line with the vision of the President of the Republic, Félix-Antoine Tshisekedi, who pays particular attention to good governance and the fight against corruption. The IGF, as the body responsible for controlling public finances, plays a key role in achieving these objectives.
During this educational session, several subjects were discussed, in particular the prevention of embezzlement, compliance with legal and regulatory texts, and the improvement of governance within companies and public establishments. The agents were also informed of the steps necessary to ensure the follow-up of the recommendations issued during the IGF supervision missions.
Emphasis was also placed on the importance of deterring acts of poor governance and preventing fraud and financial malfeasance. By favoring a priori control, the IGF seeks to prevent situations of misappropriation and to guarantee the regularity of management actions.
It is also important to emphasize that this educational session was not intended to make public officials feel guilty, but rather to support them in the performance of their duties. The IGF positions itself as a partner of public managers, advising them on best management practices and helping them to improve the financial situation of public companies.
The representatives present during this session expressed their satisfaction with the opportunity to enrich their knowledge and strengthen their skills in public finance management. They recognize the importance of these educational sessions to avoid the scandals and excesses observed by their predecessors.
In conclusion, this educational session organized by the IGF in collaboration with the ANEP represents a significant step forward in the promotion of transparency and good governance in the DRC. It testifies to the commitment of the Congolese government to fight against the embezzlement of public funds and to establish rigorous management of public finances. With such initiatives, the DRC will undoubtedly take the path of a more just and equitable development
