The 2025 annual report of the Supreme State Audit Office reveals a serious picture of irregularities in public administration; from the disqualification of the lowest bids and payments for unfinished work, to uncollected debts, expired medicines, and lack of financial control.
The Supreme State Audit Office has published its annual performance report for 2025, which highlights a serious picture of violations, irregularities and systemic weaknesses in the management of public money. In total, the institution has found economic damage and irregularities with a financial effect worth 26,210,795,000 lek, while during the year it has conducted 190 audits, issued 222 opinions and left 4,994 recommendations.
The figure of over 26.2 billion lek makes this year's report one of the most striking, while comparing it to around 10 billion lek a year ago, it results in a strong increase in the damage found. The SAI itself reports that the recommendations made include 3,268 organizational measures, 29 legal improvements, 975 disciplinary and administrative measures, as well as measures for compensation for damage and for addressing negative financial effects.
Essentially, the report speaks of an administration where, according to the audit findings, the problems are not limited to sporadic cases, but extend from budget planning, to public procurement, revenue collection, control over medicines, management of state assets, the environment, water supply, energy and even cybersecurity. The SAI emphasizes that these problems undermine the reliability of financial reporting, transparency, accountability and increase the risk of mismanagement of public funds.
One of the strongest findings relates to the state’s financial statements, which according to the audit were not prepared and submitted in full compliance with legal requirements and public reporting standards. The report highlights a lack of reconciliations between financial years, incomplete recording of assets and liabilities, misclassification of income and expenses, as well as a lack of effective procedures for collecting arrears. The SAI also raises concerns about the incomplete recording of assets, the lack of physical inventory and weaknesses in internal control systems.
In the field of public procurement, the report lists a series of violations that directly affect competition and the final price paid by the state. According to the SAI, procedures were often planned without being based on real needs, limit funds were calculated with deficiencies, while the qualification criteria in some cases were not in line with the nature and complexity of the contract. Furthermore, the audit highlights cases where operators who did not meet the criteria were qualified, while other operators were disqualified under the same conditions as the winners, resulting in unequal treatment. In a number of cases, the lowest bids were disqualified and the procedure continued with higher bids, with a negative effect on the budget. It was also found that funds were diverted to avoid open procurement procedures, as well as payments for unfinished works, lack of penalties, amendments to contracts in violation of the law and lack of technical documentation.
Another alarm block is related to taxes and customs, where the report speaks of an increase in unpaid debt and serious weaknesses in its follow-up. According to the thematic audit in Taxes, at the end of 2024, unpaid tax liabilities reached 162.5 billion lek, with an increase of 7.37 billion lek compared to the end of 2023. The vast majority of this debt is old, while the follow-up structures do not operate on an integrated and automated system. On the other hand, in Customs, the level of unpaid liabilities is presented at 48.6 billion lek, with an annual increase, while the SAI evidences thousands of cases where timely recovery actions were not taken, execution orders were not requested or accounts and assets were not blocked.
The report is particularly harsh with the health sector. The SAI highlights shortcomings in the control and monitoring of reimbursable drugs, discrepancies between physical inventory and data in the system, weaknesses in the control of warehouses, pharmacies, doctors and hospitals, as well as delays and shortages in supply. The audit has found circulation of drugs with very close expiration dates, non-application of penalties to contracted entities and distribution of hospital drugs in the open network in violation of the law. In another serious finding, from the data of the “e-depot” system, 102,778 units of drugs were found to have left the warehouses with an expiration date the same as the date of entry into the pharmacy, as well as 143,598 units with an expiration date only 1 to 5 days after leaving the warehouses. The audit has also identified fictitious declarations and unfair reimbursements worth 216.9 million lek.
Probleme të rënda janë konstatuar edhe në planifikimin dhe zbatimin e buxhetit të shtetit. KLSH flet për vonesa në kërkesat buxhetore, investime të futura jashtë dokumenteve strategjike, rishikime të shumta të buxhetit dhe kontrata të regjistruara me vonesë. Vetëm në auditimin mbi planifikimin dhe zbatimin e buxhetit në Ministrinë e Financave, janë evidentuar mijëra raste pagesash për detyrime të viteve të mëparshme, kontrata të lidhura përtej afateve, tejkalim i kufijve buxhetorë dhe klasifikime të pasakta të fondeve. KLSH konstaton gjithashtu se suficiti fiskal i akumuluar gjatë muajve janar-nëntor është shpenzuar plotësisht në dhjetor, duke krijuar deficit rreth 17 miliardë lekë, çka sipas audituesve reflekton mungesë planifikimi të qëndrueshëm dhe rritje të riskut fiskal.
Në raport përmenden edhe raste konkrete me efekte të forta financiare në institucione të ndryshme. Në Ministrinë e Financave, auditimi ka evidentuar efekte negative në vlerën totale 5.1 miliardë lekë, të lidhura me garancitë shtetërore joperformuese, detyrimet nga marrëveshjet e nënhuasë dhe kostot shtesë nga mosekzekutimi në kohë i vendimeve të GJEDNJ. Në Ministrinë e Bujqësisë janë konstatuar diferenca në volume pune të pakryera dhe efekte negative mbi fondet publike; në Ministrinë e Shëndetësisë janë evidentuar skualifikime të padrejta operatorësh ekonomikë dhe mungesë mbikëqyrjeje mbi kontratat e barnave; ndërsa në Ministrinë e Turizmit dhe Mjedisit janë konstatuar edhe raste dëmi ekonomik nga llogaritje të gabuara dhe punime të pakryera.
Alarmi shtrihet edhe te siguria ushqimore, ku KLSH thotë se sistemi i kontrollit zyrtar paraqet mangësi thelbësore përgjatë gjithë zinxhirit, nga importi te testimi laboratorik dhe asgjësimi i produkteve. Sipas raportit, vetëm rreth gjysma e laboratorëve kanë teste të akredituara, ndërsa fusha të tëra me rëndësi kyçe kanë mbulim minimal ose zero. KLSH paralajmëron se kjo rrit mundësinë që në treg të qarkullojnë produkte të pasigurta ose të kontaminuara.
Në mjedis, gjetjet flasin për mangësi në monitorim, mosrespektim të kushteve të lejeve, mungesë dokumentimi dhe kontroll të dobët në terren. Raporti përmend ndotjen e Liqenit Artificial të Tiranës, mungesën e analizave mikrobiologjike, mosidentifikimin e shkaktarëve të ndotjes dhe mungesën e bashkëpunimit ndërinstitucional. Po ashtu, në Patos-Marinzë janë konstatuar gropa ekologjike që operojnë pa leje dhe menaxhim jo në përputhje me ligjin të mbetjeve të rrezikshme.
Edhe në energjitikë dhe ujësjellës-kanalizime, raporti jep sinjale të forta. Humbjet e energjisë në rrjet rezultojnë nga 12% deri mbi 33%, ndërsa në sektorin e ujit KLSH konstaton se nga 14 shoqëri ujësjellësish vetëm 6 disponojnë laboratorë, duke vënë në pikëpyetje analizat e ujit të pijshëm. Përmenden gjithashtu pagesa të pajustifikuara në projekte, vonesa në zbatim, mungesë kontrolli dhe probleme serioze në infrastrukturën e kullimit dhe mbrojtjes nga përmbytjet, veçanërisht në rastin e Vlorës.
In the area of information technology, the SAI speaks of a lack of formalized policies and procedures, weaknesses in cybersecurity, a lack of firewalls, antivirus, encryption and monitoring mechanisms, as well as users with administrative rights without the necessary restrictions. This, according to the audit, increases exposure to security incidents and compromises the integrity of public data.
The report concludes with another significant indicator: during 2025, the SAI has sent 8 criminal reports and forwarded 43 other materials to law enforcement bodies, in cases where the audit has found serious violations that require further investigation. /Pamphlet
