This week, the Court of Auditors of Aragon presented to the Cortes of Aragon the General Report of the Aragonese local public sector, corresponding to the 2023 financial year.
The report on the Aragonese local public sector, presented this week, places Mequinenza among the entities that had not submitted the general account for 2023, while the Comarca del Bajo Cinca, Velilla de Cinca, Osso de Cinca, Torrente de Cinca and other municipalities appear in different annexes due to accounting incidents.
The Aragonese Court of Auditors has published its general report on the local public sector for the 2023 fiscal year, a document that includes several municipalities in the Bajo/Baix Cinca region and the district itself . Among all the references, the most significant situation concerns the Mequinenza City Council, which is among the Aragonese entities that had not yet submitted their general accounts as of December 31, 2024.
The submission of the general account is one of the main obligations of transparency and financial control of local administrations, so inclusion in this list represents one of the most outstanding incidents included in the report for the territory.
Mequinenza, among the municipalities that had not submitted their accounts
The Court of Auditors' report includes a specific annex with the entities that had not submitted the general account corresponding to the 2023 financial year before the end of 2024.
Among the Aragonese municipalities that appear in that list is Mequinenza, along with other towns in the provinces of Huesca, Zaragoza and Teruel.
The absence of the general account prevents the proper completion of the ordinary auditing process and limits the ability to supervise the economic and financial situation of the local entity.
The Bajo/Baix Cinca Region presents accounting incidents
The second most significant reference for the region directly affects the Bajo Cinca / Baix Cinca Region.
According to the report, the regional institution appears in the annex of incidents detected in the financial and asset statements, specifically for presenting a negative economic-asset result account.
The Court of Auditors includes this type of observation within the automatic checks carried out on the economic documentation submitted by the Aragonese local entities.
Velilla de Cinca and Osso de Cinca, among the municipalities with issues in the accounting checks on budget statements
Among the municipalities in the region that appear in the incident annexes are Velilla de Cinca and Osso de Cinca.
In the case of Velilla de Cinca, it appears in the checks on the budget statements.
For its part, Osso de Cinca appears both in the annex of budgetary incidents and in the annex of incidents on financial and asset statements.
Torrente de Cinca, Candasnos and Zaidín are also listed in the annexes
The report also includes references to other municipalities in the Lower Cinca region.
Torrente de Cinca appears in the annex relating to incidents in financial and asset statements, while Candasnos appears in the budgetary checks.
Zaidín is also among the municipalities with irregularities detected in the audit of its accounts. Furthermore, the report identifies the town as one of the Aragonese municipalities that experienced the greatest population loss during the analyzed period.
Fraga stands out for his communication of agreements
Among the most favorable references for the region, the Fraga City Council stands out.
The regional capital is among the entities that submitted their annual list of agreements on time, with eight formalized agreements, a figure that places it among the municipalities in Huesca with the highest administrative activity in this area.
Also appearing in this list are Ballobar, Torrente de Cinca, Velilla de Cinca and Osso de Cinca, all of them with an agreement communicated during the year.
The municipalities of Bajo Cinca with the best rankings in the report
Unlike Mequinenza or the municipalities listed in incident annexes, most of the town councils in Bajo Cinca do not appear associated with relevant observations by the Court of Auditors.
These include towns such as Belver de Cinca, Chalamera, and those that are not among the entities with outstanding incidents or in the lists of the most relevant non-compliance included in the document.
A snapshot of the Bajo/Baix Cinca region in the report by the Court of Auditors
Taking into account the seriousness of the observations collected in the report, the situation of the local entities of Bajo Cinca could be summarized as follows:
Most relevant incident
- Mequinenza: had not submitted the general account for 2023 by the end of 2024.
The report from the Court of Auditors does not necessarily imply the existence of irregularities or illegalities, but rather includes formal non-compliance, accounting incidents, deficiencies detected in the documentation submitted, or situations that the institution considers susceptible to improvement in the economic and financial management of Aragonese local entities.
