A financial audit conducted by the Chamber of Accounts on the National Police (PN) for the 2020-2022 period identified multiple accounting deviations and legal non-compliances that affect the reasonableness of its budget execution statements.
Likewise, unsupported payments were identified, totaling a set of payments and disbursements without supporting documentation in the amount of RD$624,702,700.
Those payments include payment for intelligence services for RD$377,829,360, without documents justifying the expense.
Expenditures without invoices were also found, including payments made through checks and payment orders for RD$115,727,759 that do not have attached invoices.
Another irregularity detected by the audit was amounts collected by postal branches (RD$13 million in a sample) that were not deposited into the Treasury Single Account (TSA), and many lacked income receipts.
