SAI Uzbekistan analyzed water sector performance. Auditors assessed the efficiency of the use of funds allocated for canal reconstruction in 2025 and found significant delays. According to the SAI, despite canal concreting work being carried out in the first quarter of 2025, not a single facility was finished. An analysis of the implementation of water-saving technologies revealed instances of non-use of drip irrigation technologies. Auditors found that the Ministry of Water Resources transferred a number of pumping stations to public-private partnerships (PPPs) between 2020 and 2025. The audit identified the following deficiencies: - regular semi-annual monitoring of work performed under the concluded agreements was not conducted; - the Ministry did not receive documented information on the work performed by the private partners; - there were no minimum requirements for the volume of private investment or energy conservation in PPP projects. Furthermore, an analysis of the automation and digitalization of water and electricity metering, as well as water management facilities, showed that the information systems developed in the industry are not fully functional.

SAI Malaysia reported on the audit of the implementation of the 11th and 12th Malaysia Development Plans which included five audits of seven ministries. The total planned investment under the two documents amounted to 571.92 mln Malaysian ringgits (USD 135.3 mln). Auditors found serious violations at three audit sites: agricultural company FELCRA Berhad, National University of Malaysia (Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia) and Malaysian Armed Forces (Tentera Darat Malaysia, TDM). Specifically, between 2022 and 2024, FELCRA Berhad entered into lease agreements for four oil palm plantations for a total of 241.76 million Malaysian ringgits (USD 57.2 million). Auditors found this amount to be inflated and pointed out management deficiencies. National University of Malaysia also exceeded the government procurement limit in three tenders totalling 58.45 million Malaysian ringgits (USD 13.8 million). Auditors found deficiencies in the Malaysian Armed Forces' contract administration and procurement management for the Gempita armoured vehicle for the period of 2020-2023. The violation included non-collection of two fines amounting to 162.75 million Malaysian ringgits (USD 38.5 million) for delays in the delivery of Gempita and to 1.42 million Malaysian ringgits (0.34 million) for delays in the procurement of maintenance, repair and spare parts services for armoured vehicles. In addition, auditors found delays in maintenance, repair, and spare parts services for armored vehicles worth 107.54 million Malaysian ringgits (USD 25.44 million). SAI Malaysia also identified shortcomings in the implementation of the vegetable oil subsidy program by the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living, including the ineffective use of quotas. The audit found that the prequalification procurement method introduced by the Ministry of Finance created opportunities for manipulation, with unqualified suppliers managing to advance through all stages of the tender process to the final stage. SAI Malaysia recommended discontinuing the use of prequalification procurement method and using an open tendering method to ensure accountability and transparency in the procurement process. The audit conducted by the SAI between 2024 and June 2025 resulted in a recovery of 157.73 million Malaysian ringgits (USD 37.31 million), including through the collection of fines, taxes and penalties.
