Key Findings
Full Description

Dated 27 July 2017 (Circulaire No 009), the letter refers to a 6 July 2017 correspondence from the President of the Cour Supérieure des Comptes et du Contentieux Administratif (CSCCA). Prime Minister Jack Guy Lafontant draws ministers' attention to the obligation on public institutions under their authority to submit, every quarter, to both the MEF and the CSCCA, an inventory of their movable and immovable property together with their financial statements.

Furthermore, when institutions request authorization to dispose of (désaffectation) unused assets from the CSCCA, ministers must ensure the residual accounting values of the inventoried assets are clearly stated. To guarantee transparency in the auction sale of unused public assets, the circular calls for wide publicity of the process, invoking Article 24 of the 1 May 2014 law on preventing and repressing corruption. A copy of the CSCCA's correspondence was attached to the circular.
