From the Chamber of Accounts we are in the best position to work with Fedomu to continue raising the quality and transparency in public management. You can count on us at all times, especially in the processes of sworn statements of assets,&#8221; pointed out the president of the CCRD.\n\nFor his part, Nelson N\u00fa\u00f1ez highlighted that, since the arrival of the current authorities of the Chamber of Accounts, the institution has shown a firm interest in supporting local governments. In that sense, he urged the mayors to see the auditing body as a strategic ally for the strengthening of their administrations.\n\n&#8220;This agreement will allow us to continue strengthening our processes. During our visits to the ten regional offices of Fedomu, the importance of compliance with asset declarations has been highlighted, and we are pleased to confirm that the majority of mayors have fulfilled this commitment,&#8221; said Nu\u00f1ez, who also thanked the member of the Plenary, Francisco Franco, for having promoted the initiative of this agreement, which he described as a milestone in favor of municipal transparency.\n\nThe collaboration agreement seeks to strengthen cooperation and assistance on issues of common interest, especially in terms of technical support, with the purpose of improving the administration of public resources and the planning of projects executed by Fedomu and its associates.\n\nIt also includes monitoring the process of sworn statements of assets of municipal officials and the presentation of institutional budgetary accountability reports, through training programs and technical support.\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among the commitments undertaken by Fedomu, the following stand out:<\/p>\n\n\n\u2022          Provide support, through its 10 Regional Technical Offices, in monitoring and ensuring compliance with the submission of sworn statements of assets by the obligated subjects at the municipal level.\n\n\u2022          Promote the timely delivery of budget executions by city councils.\n\n\u2022 Support the correction of weaknesses identified in the audits carried out by the Court of Auditors.\n\nFor its part, the CCRD committed to holding training and continuous education sessions, through the National School of Accounts, aimed at mayors, councilors and municipal technicians, on regulations, procedures, citizen control, governmental accounting, strategic planning and management control. Likewise, it will guide the members of Fedomu for a better understanding of the audit processes in local management.\n\nIn representation of the Chamber of Accounts participated, in addition to its president, Dr. Emma Polanco Melo, the vice president, licenciado Francisco Tam\u00e1rez Florentino, and the members of the Plenary, licenciados Francisco Franco, Ram\u00f3n M\u00e9ndez Acosta and Griselda G\u00f3mez Santana.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Chamber of Accounts of the Dominican Republic (CCRD) and the Dominican Federation of Municipalities (Fedomu) signed a collaboration agreement aimed at promoting transparency, internal control, accountability, and the training of local government employees.
