Effectively managing a local development program of 145 territories is a task that requires great rigor and a certain expertise. However, in the case of BCeCo (Banque de Crédit et de Coopération), certain criticisms have been raised regarding the attitude of its managing director in this management.
In response to a press release published by the CEO of the BCeCo, the Court of Auditors formally denied having ordered an audit relating to the work of the Local Development Program of 145 Territories. She said she was surprised by these “allegations of rare gravity” and recalled that any control mission of the Court of Auditors requires the signature of a mission order by its first president, which was not the case here.
The Court of Auditors also underlined that the missions of the public prosecutor’s office attached to the Court of Auditors cannot in any case be assimilated to a mission of the Court of Auditors itself, as defined by the organic law. It therefore invited the CEO of BCeCo to withdraw its information notice and to comply with any due diligence in this context.
This situation highlights the importance of transparency and accountability in the management of public expenditure. The public funds committed to a local development program are considerable, and it is essential that their use be strictly controlled. The participation of the Court of Auditors is therefore crucial to ensure efficient and transparent management of these funds.
In conclusion, it is essential that all actors involved in the management of local development programs, such as the BCeCo, act in compliance with procedures and control rules
