The move is in accordance with Article 119 of the
Jordanian constitution, which stipulates that the annual report must be
submitted at the beginning of the regular session of parliament, and pursuant
to Article 22 A of the Audit Act, Ammon News reported.
The 13-seat Chamber of Deputies, also known as the
Lower House of Parliament, reconvened for an ordinary session on November 13.
Majali said the
total savings to the benefit of the state Treasury during 2021 amounted to
approximately JD69 million. He said they came as a result of the audit of
transactions related to taxes and fees, the recovery of unlawfully spent money,
and participation in bidding and procurement committees.
During the same year, the bureau found 2776
violations, of which 22 were corrected.
In a press statement Majali said that the 70th
annual report for 2021 contains seven chapters. Chapter 1 outlined the most
important achievements of the bureau during the year, namely the amendment to
its law, the digital transformation it is undergoing, and the development of
working methodologies and oversight tasks.
Chapter 2 highlighted an analysis and audit of the
final accounts of the general budget, the public debt, and the analysis of the
final accounts of the government units.
Chapter 3 consisted of reports issued by the bureau
on performance oversight, environment and sustainable development.
Chapter 4 comprised audits of the limitations, and
records of a number of government-owned companies, those in which the
government owns 50 percent or more of shares, according to Majali.
Chapter 5 contained cases that were referred to the
judiciary of the Integrity and Anti-Corruption Commission for further
investigation and review.
Chapter 6 of the report included a number of
contentious issues with regulators.
Chapter 7 contained the most important oversight
outputs issued during 2021.
