ISLAMAABD, AUGUST 15: The amount spent on fuel and auto repairs over the two years was not authorized, according to the Auditor General of Pakistan’s audit objections of FBR for 2021–2022 and 2022–2023.
The Auditor General has directed the FBR to identify those responsible.
According to the report, the FBR has not identified those responsible. In the years 2021-22 and 2022-23, 258 such cases have been reported in 54 field offices.
The paper from the Auditor General of Pakistan claims that costs related to vehicle maintenance and fuel usage were incurred but not included into the logbook. Additionally, vehicles were used without the appropriate authority’s consent. The paperwork and approvals are there, FBR retorted. There were missing necessary documents from the Departmental Accounts Committee meeting.
There were similar audit objections in 2018–19 and 2019–20. The sum of audit complaints from prior years exceeded Rs. 370 million as well.
