国家发展部于今日发文告,公布已提交各市镇会2017年财政报告予国会,民众也可到市镇会网站http://www.towncouncils.sg/查阅完整报告。 有关2017财政年市镇会报告,是针对去年四月至今年三月的表现进行评估,依据市镇会管辖的清洁、维修管理、电梯性能、水价和服务与杂费(S&CC)欠款管理和企业治理(corporate governance)等方面接受评估。 根据国家发展部文告,大部分市镇会的2017年财政年财务报表的审计结果为“无保留”(unqualified),但阿裕尼-后港市镇会的财务报表,则被外部审计师评估为“有所保留”(qualified)。 至于获评估“有所保留”的原因,乃是该市镇会未实时记录花费,内部控管薄弱。国家发展部称,这是阿裕尼-后港市镇会连续七年,被外部审计师评估其财报“有所保留”。 也因此,阿裕尼-后港市镇会在企业管理方面,获得“琥珀色”评级。 不过, 在十六个市镇会中,还有另外三家市镇会也获得琥珀色评级,即:碧山-大巴窑市镇会、淡滨尼市镇会和丹戎巴葛市镇会。 四市镇会在企业治理上仅获琥珀评级 碧山-大巴窑市镇会并没有遵照市镇会财务准则,在收到报价后在市镇会内公开讯息流通。 淡滨尼市镇会则误把运营基金的数额,转移到偿债基金和电梯更换基金。报告称,有关市会虽已发现并更正此计算失误,但是有关正确数额在极度结束后的一个月内还没有转移,因此属不合规情况。 至于丹戎巴葛市镇会,在已经支出后,才从其他地方转移预算到“清洁和公用事务开支”上。 至于在园区维修管理上,也有五家市镇会仅获琥珀色评级,即:阿裕尼-后港市镇会、东海岸-凤山市镇会、惹兰勿刹市镇会、裕廊-金文泰市镇会以及淡滨尼市镇会。 另一方面,在园区整洁、电梯维修保养和水价和服务与杂费管理事项上,所有市镇会都获得绿色评级。
