Follow-up Audit Reports by the National Audit Office – 2024 Volume I

For the eighth successive year, the Auditor General, Mr. Charles Deguara, presented to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Anġlu Farrugia, the National Audit Office’s first volume of follow-up audit reports for 2024, comprising a compilation of ten reports. 

This Office has once again identified various audits carried out in recent years with a view of evaluating the level of implementation by the Executive, of the main recommendations made therein. Indeed, every creditable national audit institution is expected to have in place a reliable follow-up mechanism since, ultimately, enhancement of good governance is brought about through the timely implementation of its recommendations.

An analysis on the degree of implementation of the respective recommendations was undertaken on past Financial and Compliance audits as follows:

• Ministry for Health
• Service Pension
• Housing Maintenance and Embellishment Company Limited
• Malta Industrial Parks Ltd
• Malta Digital Innovation Authority
• Malta Police Force
• Regeneration Works
• Street Lighting and Other Services
• Duty on Documents
• Education Department

This year’s follow-up evaluation indicates that approximately 66% of the recommendations analysed by this Office were either implemented in part or in full, or were in the process of being implemented by the entities concerned. Individual implementation estimates in respect of each of these ten entities is also included in this Report.
