In its report of the past fiscal year to the Parliament, the Office of the
Federal Auditor General of Ethiopia (OFAG) said that eight hundred
eighty-seven million forty-five thousand two hundred sixty four Ethiopian
birr has been unaccounted in over 77 governmental organisations.
A financial management sample study conducted on five government
organisations, a deficit of one million birr has also been found.
It is to be recalled that last year, in a similar investigation a financial
deficit amounting three billion birr was found in the Ethiopian Ministry of
Defense.
It has so far been impossible to establish how this financial gap may have
been solved.
