The State Supreme Audit Office's report on the Municipality of Elbasan questions the efficiency in collecting local revenues in this municipality.

According to the audit, account 468 "Various debtors" has increased from 1.17 billion lek at the beginning of 2024 to 1.2 billion lek at the end of the year, with an addition of about 25 million lek, which is mainly related to the increase in unpaid liabilities for local taxes and fees by the Municipality of Elbasan and its subordinate units.

The SAI emphasizes that this increase indicates a lack of effective measures by the municipality's management to reduce the level of debtors and improve performance in revenue collection.

The audit goes further by concluding that the account does not present a real picture of the financial situation, as a significant part of the debtors has not been accounted for. Specifically, there is a missing income of 82 million lekë as a result of the failure to fully register the liabilities, which creates a direct risk of the municipality losing its right to claim these liabilities in the future. This situation is also accompanied by a lack of institutional coordination, as there is no full correspondence between the Directorate of Revenues, Permits and Licenses and the Directorate of Finance and Budget, weakening the audit trail and control over the debtors.

In a more detailed analysis of this account, the audit highlights that significant liabilities have not been included, including debtors from fines imposed by IMTV in the amount of 72,474,712 lek, of which only a portion of 19,818,157 lek has been handled through forgiveness procedures according to the VKM in force, while 21 entities in the amount of 52,656,555 lek remain to be reflected in the accounting.

Also, liabilities from the infrastructure impact tax, totaling 17,714,436 lek, have not been fully accounted for, as well as liabilities from lease contracts for the forest and pasture fund in the amount of 12,368,615 lek, distributed among several private entities.

In conclusion, the SAI recommends that the Budget and Finance Directorate of the Municipality of Elbasan take measures to fully reflect account 468 "Miscellaneous debtors" in the accounting, including all unrecognized debtors, specifically: liabilities from forest and pasture fund rents in the amount of 12,368,615 lek; IMTV fines for 21 entities in the amount of 52,656,555 lek; as well as liabilities from the infrastructure impact tax in the amount of 17,714,436 lek, with the aim of correcting the financial statements for 2025.

In parallel, the SAI requests the Mayor of Elbasan to initiate disciplinary procedures for the employees involved, as well as to take measures to prevent such violations from recurring./ ekofin.al
