Fiscal oversight and public spending in Mexico and Peru

Overview

Fiscal oversight and administrative management remain central themes in Mexico and Peru. In Querétaro, Mexico, the Secretaría de la Contraloría (SECON) has appointed 15 external auditing firms to review the 2026 fiscal year financial statements for the Executive Branch and 43 parastatal entities, with reports due in January 2027.

In Durango, Mexico, the State Congress is preparing to monitor the management of 39 municipal governments. Ernesto Alanís Herrera, president of the Government and Political Coordination Board, stated that the legislature will review annual reports to oversee public finances and social actions in accordance with the state constitution.

In Peru, administrative deficiencies continue to impact local governance. Investigations into regional municipalities have highlighted a critical lack of updated management documents, such as the Regulations of Organization and Functions (ROF), the Manual of Job Profiles (MPP), and Institutional Development Plans (PDI), which hinders effective programmatic management. Additionally, in Huancayo, Councilman José Ortiz has filed complaints regarding alleged irregularities in the Public Cleaning area, including potential favoritism, unauthorized vehicle use, and workers performing duties outside their contracted roles.

These issues follow previous reports from the Contraloría General de la República (CGR) regarding significant budget execution failures in disaster prevention, where many municipalities failed to utilize funds intended to mitigate El Niño-related vulnerabilities. On the political front, President Keiko Fujimori has expressed support for Defense Minister Rafael Belaunde and announced plans to reduce state current expenditures to prioritize public works.
