The Public Security Forces Affairs Bureau of Macao (hereafter referred to as DSFSM according to the Portuguese abbreviation) had no integrated planning for its large procurements, which was detrimental to the effectiveness and efficiency during execution. In the earlier concluded performance audit report “Procurement of Goods and Services by the Public Security Forces Affairs Bureau”, the Commission of Audit disclosed problems found in the procurements referred above. The Commission of Audit believes that without a preliminary planning of the resources to be invested would allow never ending of public money spending on corrective studies on the already acquired project, which is contrary to the principle of prudence in financial management.

The Commission of Audit concluded recently the performance audit report “Procurement of Goods and Services by the Public Security Forces Affairs Bureau”.
