In line with article 166 of the Constitution of the Republic of Rwanda of 2003, revised in 2015, on 02 May 2023, the Auditor General, Alexis Kamuhire presented to the joint sitting of both Chambers of the Parliament the annual audit report for the year ended 30th June 2022.

This year saw an increase in the extent of Government expenditure audited from 91.1% last year to 95%. For the year ended 30th June 2022, the total Government expenditure was Frw 4,604 Bn, and OAG audited expenditure totalling Frw 4,368 Bn.

“We audited 221 public entities (both financial & compliance), compared to 210 public entities audited in the previous year. Additionally, we conducted 14 performance audits, 6 Information System audits, and 12 special audits." Alexis Kamuhire stated.

Compared to the previous year, there was a gradual improvement in audit outcomes and a modest improvement in the implementation of the previous year’s recommendations.

“68% of the entities we audited got unqualified opinions in financial audits, 61% got unqualified opinions in the compliance audits of laws and regulation on public spending, and 53% of unqualified opinions on compliance with laws and regulations to realise Value for Money. Again, fully implemented recommendations increased from 48% to 57% this year.” He noted. 
 
However, The Auditor General pointed out different cases of unlawful expenditure totalling Frw 6.45 Bn. This increased from Frw 3.2Bn of the last year. “Chief Budget Managers have to put in place strong internal controls to avoid such cases of irregular expenditure.” Auditor General explained.

Members of the Parliament noted that the report of the Office of the Auditor General shows changes in the management of public resources for the welfare of the people. They urged the concerned institutions to put more effort to prevent the mismanagement of public resources and to hold accountable those involved in the misuse of the country's resources.
