Citation Impact

Lack of Accountability: The absence of supporting documents raises concerns about the legitimacy and accuracy of the payments, undermining transparency and accountability.
Risk of Fraud or Misuse of Funds: Unsupported expenditures expose the Assembly to the risk of financial mismanagement or fraud, as payments cannot be verified or justified.
Non-compliance with Financial Regulations: The failure to provide supporting documents violates established financial management regulations and demonstrates a lack of due diligence in ensuring proper financial controls.
Potential Financial Losses: Without proper documentation, there is no assurance that the funds were used appropriately or for their intended purposes.
