"Inappropriate handling of public funds worth more than 100 billion yen" Report by the Auditing Bureau November 8th 13:09
Last year, the Auditing Bureau compiled a report stating that over 100 billion yen of public money was handled inappropriately and submitted it to the government.
The Auditing Bureau compiled a report on the results of last year's examination of inappropriate expenditures in the country, and on the morning of August 8, Dr. Yuji Morita handed it over to Prime Minister Abe.
According to the report, 335 cases of inappropriate handling of public funds amounted to ¥ 100.2 billion.
Among them, the investigation of whether irrigation ponds that had been destroyed due to the heavy rains of West Japan last year has not been properly investigated, and the highway company has set up a local response headquarters in the event of a disaster such as heavy rain. There are noticeable points regarding disaster countermeasures, such as about 20% of management offices nationwide are located in the inundation area.
In addition, it is said that there are still inadequacies in the contract called FMS where Japan directly procures defense equipment from the US government.
Mr. Morita said, “We have been working with the recognition that this is a very important issue for businesses related to repeated natural disasters, so we would like you to improve it. "
