The Superior Audit Office of Mexico (ASF) has revealed potential irregularities totaling 65 billion 169 million pesos in the review of the 2024 Public Account. Among these irregularities, 59 billion 363 million pesos are attributed to observations related to federal spending in states and municipalities, while the remaining 5 billion 805 million pesos involve expenditures by the Federal Judiciary, various federal government entities, and state-owned enterprises. This report was presented to the Chamber of Deputies by Auditor General David Colmenares.

Colmenares also noted that this report represents the third and final installment of a total of 2,264 audits conducted for the 2024 Public Account, coinciding with the final year of Andrés Manuel López Obrador's presidential administration. The consolidated report from these audits shows that more than 2 billion pesos have been recovered, indicating some efforts toward financial accountability despite the irregularities. The pending amounts that require clarification are notably high in entities like Pemex, which accounts for 1 billion 762 million pesos, highlighting concerns within major governmental agencies.

This revelation raises significant implications for fiscal governance in Mexico, especially as the country prepares for changes in administration. The findings point to a need for stringent oversight and measures to address the discrepancies noted in the audits, particularly with entities that handle substantial public funds. As scrutiny around public expenditure increases, it remains to be seen how the incoming administration will tackle these irregularities and ensure transparency moving forward.
