Balance of the OSDE GEMAR Audit System.

In the midst of the High Audit process of the Ministry of Transport, the Balance of the OSDE GEMAR Audit System was held, chaired by its General Director Roberto Ricardo Marrero. Among the guests were Yanet Águila Rodríguez, Provincial Vice-Comptroller; Enrique Julián Rionda Sánchez, Director of Audit of the Ministry of Transport; the Board of Directors of GEMAR and specialists of the branch.

In accordance with the ideas of the Commander Invicto, this year the aim was to correct distortions and structural deviations and for this purpose different control actions were carried out based on compliance audits, prevention and control and special checks.

The issue of filling vacant positions was pointed out as a fundamental issue, with the directors being the main responsible for this happening. Regarding the evaluation of the audits, 60% was acceptable, 20% bad and 20% satisfactory. The main deficiencies detected were that there are no procedures for the activity of energy carriers, no printed evidence of fuel requests or equipment-by-equipment analysis was shown; in addition, the consumption standards of the vehicles were not determined. On these issues, Enrique Julián Rionda pointed out that these are trends to be reviewed, since from there come the causes and conditions that will allow actions and measures to be taken to solve the problems.

It is fulfilled by the fact that the subordinates have a direct relationship with the Director of the unit, office means are assigned to carry out their functions, logistics are guaranteed to carry out the audits and the report is concluded by the auditor, but the administration has to be involved.

The activity was limited in 2024 due to the reduction of fuel, although it was possible to exchange with almost all of the colleagues who carry out the activity in the province through contact via mail and telephone. To conclude, Iván Beltrán Suárez commented on future projections, which are inclined to create a third audit group, as well as increase methodological advisory actions.
