Dr. Amin Adam attributed this achievement to the effective implementation of policies, guidelines, and Public Financial Management (PFM) measures by the Ministry of Finance.

He emphasised that these efforts have led to about 99.26% of all irregularities identified in 2023 by the Auditor-General being recoverable.

The Minister added that the Finance Ministry is collaborating with the Internal Audit Agency, Internal Audit Units, and Audit Committees to ensure the recovery of these amounts.
