On Tuesday, May 7, an important event took place in front of the Court of Auditors in Kinshasa. Three state accountants were summoned to answer for management errors in the exercise of their functions. This affair, which highlights problematic practices within the state’s financial apparatus, raises essential questions about the transparency and accountability of civil servants responsible for managing public funds.
At the center of this affair, the principal accountant Iyombo Bosengele finds himself at the heart of the accusations brought by the prosecution of the Court of Auditors. The latter accuses Iyombo of having late transmitted the monthly accounting documents for the financial years 2020, 2021 and 2022, thus violating the general regulations on public accounting.

Iyombo’s defense lawyers rejected the accusations, saying the documents were submitted within the required time frame. This divergence of interpretation highlights the complexity of financial procedures and the need for clarification of responsibilities to avoid such controversies in the future.
The Court of Auditors, responsible for ensuring the proper management of public funds, underlined the importance of respecting the deadlines for transmitting management accounts, recalling that any failure to comply with these rules constitutes a management error. The president of the budgetary and financial disciplinary chamber of the Court of Auditors, magistrate Guy Tshipata, spoke of the potential consequences of this type of misconduct, highlighting the need to protect the integrity of public finances.
Beyond the case involving senior accountant Iyombo Bosengele, two other public accountants have also been implicated in similar situations. Mulondani Byangoy and Madam Moyaka Buela are facing accusations of poor management, highlighting the extent of the problem within the state’s financial administration.
This case highlights the crucial importance of transparency and accountability in the management of public finances.
