The results of the monitoring of salary payments through the Online Budget Monitoring module by the Department of Internal State Audit in Akmola region

The Department of Internal State Audit for Akmola Region continues real-time control of budget funds using the "Online Budget Monitoring" module.

The "Online Budget Monitoring" module is applied in the fields of education, healthcare, culture, sports, and tourism. It enables real-time control over the targeted use of budget funds, including salary payments.

Special attention is given to analyzing transfers to employees' card accounts, which helps identify unjustified payments disguised as salaries.

Inspections have already confirmed the presence of risks in a number of cases, underscoring the need for further development of digital monitoring. A comprehensive approach and modern technologies make control over budget funds more effective and transparent.

Thus, during the period from January 1 to August 31, 2026, the Department conducted salary payment monitoring through OBM and sent a total of 1,642 notifications on 41,419 risky payments, of which:

• in the education sector — 902 notifications on 38,123 risky payments;
• in the culture sector — 679 notifications on 3,058 risky payments;
• in the healthcare sector — 61 response notifications on 238 risky payments;

For 29 risky payments where the facts of illegal payments were confirmed, the funds have been returned to the state budget.    

In cases of non-compliance with notifications and persistence of high risks by the monitoring object, the Department appoints and conducts a state audit, based on the results of which officials will be identified and brought to disciplinary responsibility.
