David Colmenares recognizes the Court for holding sessions in Chiapas: 'Justice reaches the territory'
David Colmenares Páramo, the Superior Auditor of the Federation, commended the court's efforts to improve local governance through initiatives aimed at ensuring transparency in public spending.
David Colmenares Páramo, Mexico's Superior Auditor of the Federation, acknowledged the importance of the court's presence in Chiapas, emphasizing the need for justice to reach local communities. He underscored the efforts of the Auditoría Superior de la Federación (ASF) to enhance its local presence as part of a broader strategy to work alongside public entities and anticipate risks in public spending. This initiative promotes the efficient and transparent use of public resources, which is vital for strengthening democracy and governance.
The ASF has developed a model of territorial audits that closely interlinks with state and municipal governments, which enhances the oversight coverage in municipalities across the country. This approach is designed to evolve from traditional desk audits to active public service engagement in local areas. Colmenares stressed that this transformation is crucial for improving public management and ensuring accountability within government operations.
In his remarks to lawmakers, Colmenares reiterated the vision of the New Auditing model, which aims not only to identify irregularities but also to contribute to the nation's transformation by promoting local governance. The proactive engagement of the ASF with governments at all levels is expected to foster a culture of transparency and better resource allocation, which ultimately benefits the citizens and supports democratic processes.
