审计署(AGO)今早发表2019/2020财政年度审计长报告。

其中,审计署检阅国家档案馆翻新计划的75项、总值169万元的合同变动(contract variation),发现该计划在数方面都有不足之处!对于合同变动的管理缺乏监督。

其中,有多达36项合同变动获原则上同意(in-principle approvals (IPAs)),却没有给出预估成本。

审计署报告形容,这意味着图书馆局旗下的这项翻新计划,尽管不知道所涉及费用多少,但当局却予以批准,甚至有份变更涉及的数目高达37万元!

“涉及成本不明确情况下审批、作出财务承诺,有很高风险会导致项目超支。”

通讯及新闻部长易华仁,是在去年4月为翻新后的档案馆主持开幕仪式,翻新项目获批准的成本高达2千053万元。

项目超支172万元

审计署认为,上述项目缺乏队开支的监督,确保财务承诺符合已批准的项目成本,最终项目超支达172万元,达8.4巴仙。
