In early August 2026, the National Superintendency of Health released an audit of the Antioquia Governor’s Office, uncovering 23 alleged irregularities and the possible diversion of 4.7 billion Colombian pesos intended for ~~public‑health~~ public-health services. The report noted transfers to State Social Enterprises without contracts, misrouting of funds to the municipality of Guarne, and negligence cases affecting the Embera community, prompting disciplinary proceedings and referral to the National Prosecutor’s Office. A day later, the Comptroller General reported fiscal irregularities amounting to roughly 825 million dollars linked to the National Infrastructure Agency’s ~~Bogotá‑Villavicencio~~ Bogotá-Villavicencio corridor contracts, including the unfinished Chirajara viaduct. An accompanying analysis highlighted a sharp decline in Colombia’s national patrimony during President Gustavo Petro’s term, underscoring broader concerns about fiscal management and accountability. By late August, oversight activities expanded. The Comptroller General of Antioquia launched a new cycle of fiscal surveillance involving 24 audits targeting 12 municipal administrations and 12 hospitals, covering a budget exceeding 1.8 trillion pesos. Meanwhile, in Bogotá, the Comptroller's Office identified a fiscal finding exceeding 7.9 billion pesos following an audit of the District Secretariat of Finance. The investigation revealed failures in collecting industry, commerce, property, and vehicle taxes, noting that several debts from 2017 through 2019 were not recovered and were removed from official records, impacting public assets.
