Millions of Pula slip through gov't fingers

Figures from the Accountant General’s office indicate that the trend of millions of Pula being lost in the public coffers through arrears, unreconciled imprests, financial and property losses as well as widespread weaknesses in recovery continue to date.

The arrears and losses per ministry appear minor when stacked up against the tens of billions government commits in budget expenditure each year, but when put together and because many of these amounts have been running unresolved for years, the issue is a headache for the Accountant General.
