WILLEMSTAD – The Financial Management Report identifies weaknesses in the oversight of so-called “other revenues” collected by ministries. In several cases, revenues are recorded based on bank statements rather than underlying administrative systems.
The Ministry of Finance notes that this practice limits insight into the origin and reliability of income streams, increasing the risk of errors or misuse. Efforts are underway to improve registration and reporting, but progress has been slow.
Strengthening control over these revenues is considered essential for improving transparency and accountability in public finances.
