The Municipal Socialist Group considers it urgent and essential to create an Internal Audit Team of the City Council that is responsible for periodically examining the accounts of the various municipal boards and thus achieve real transparency.
"At the moment we are witnessing a change, forced by citizens, aimed at making administrations transparent and, in compliance with this process that has been established and which is already an obligation and a responsibility, we must demand that transparency reach all The corners, including the municipal boards, "explains the socialist spokesman, Jose Ignacio Gras, who adds that all this happens through a control of the public accounts and to improve the good government in the institutions.
In this sense, the preamble to the Rationalization and Sustainability Law of the Local Administration indicates that in order to achieve a more rigorous economic-budgetary control, the role of the intervention function in local entities is reinforced, so that a legal vacuum is covered And the widespread application of techniques such as auditing is possible.
For this reason, Gras states that local entities should take advantage of the possibility of exercising the functions of internal control of the economic management of the autonomous agencies and of the mercantile companies of which they depend in their modalities of intervening function, function of financial control and function of Control of efficiency, "and not only to comply with the law, but to satisfy the demand of citizens that administrations and their rulers are absolutely transparent.
Precisely the law 19/2013 of December 9 of Transparency, Access to Public Information and Good Governance deals fundamentally with the transparency obligations of the Public Administration to guarantee the right of all citizens to access public information, so that The responsibility of public managers is reinforced in the exercise of their functions and in the management of public resources.
"We can not look away and not take into account that in our City Council there are municipal boards, which operate with a high percentage of autonomy with their own budgets and management standards. These are services that on different occasions and by the Plenary has questioned the form and the criteria with which any Board has spent its budget ", explains Gras, who justifies that" that is why from the Municipal Socialist Group we understand that also for these decentralization bodies are internal audits To improve in the control of its economic management and thus to move towards a better transparency and towards an improvement of the efficiency and efficiency of the public expenditure, main responsibilities that as politicians we have with the neighbors and neighbors of the municipality.
For all the above, the Socialist Municipal Group proposes not only the creation of an internal audit team, but also that it be constituted by reassigning functions to workers of the City of Murcia and that these workers depend organically on municipal intervention.
