It claims that there are differences between the figures compiled by the Union Auditor-General’s Office and the Finance and Revenue Ministry, in the state budget report for the fiscal year 2011-2012.

The report also urged the Union government to draw up a budget and audit plans to ensure that the budget-expense report is submitted to the Union Parliament.         

It also states that details of budget-expense of the Naypyitaw City Development Committee and the Tatmyo Development Affairs Committee for the fiscal year 2011-2012 could not be examined too.
