Auditor General Scrutinizes the 'Social Support Fund': Key Findings of the Report

The Audit Office has published a special report on the audit of the Independent Social Support Fund for the years 2018-2024, revealing significant findings. The report highlights the peculiarity of the Fund's legal framework, as well as the potential for conflicts of interest due to its connection with the First Lady. While the Fund’s revenues and expenditures were relatively low until 2022, they increased significantly in 2023 and 2024, enabling assistance to more students. However, the audit identified cases of contributions from companies that had financial relations with the state, raising issues of transparency and public trust. The Office recommends strengthening transparency and safeguards to avoid misinterpretations and enhance the institutional integrity of the Fund.
