Cantabria Government urged to reform public sector accounting, budgeting and control management

The Joint Committee for Relations with the Court of Auditors has approved the resolution regarding the audit report on Cantabria's General Account (2023 financial year). The resolution urges the regional government to implement regulatory changes to bring the accountability deadline forward to 31 July of the following year and to consolidate a single General Account encompassing all public sector entities (point 3). Furthermore, it requests the adoption of Zero-Based Budgeting methodology to improve spending efficiency (point 4).

In 3 key points

  1. Bring the accountability deadline forward to 31 July of the following financial year (point 3). (punto 3)
  2. Adoption of Zero-Based Budgeting methodology to improve spending efficiency (point 4). (punto 4)
  3. Mandatory preparation of independent budgets for the Cantabrian Health Service, Employment, and the Social Services Institute (point 3). (punto 3)

How it affects those involved

For the Cantabrian Administration, the resolution imposes pressure for structural reform in financial management, particularly within the Cantabrian Health Service, where greater control and budget allocations aligned with actual requirements are demanded to prevent uncovered expenditure (point 3). Cantabrian public sector entities must adapt to new regimes for preparing their own budgets and independent accountability. The administration must also improve the link between the accounting system and inventory to correct deficiencies in the registration of non-financial fixed assets (points 3 and 5).
