Auditing authorities in Mexico have initiated efforts to strengthen fiscal oversight and accountability regarding public funds.

In Chiapas, the Auditor Superior of the State and the Auditoría Superior de la Federación (ASF) launched coordinated audits of 2025 federalized spending. This initiative focuses on reviewing resources managed by municipal governments to ensure institutional collaboration and responsible oversight.

In Veracruz, the ASF has proposed legal reforms intended to expedite sanctions for corruption and accelerate the recovery of diverted public funds. The ASF is working with federal agencies and the Fiscalía General de la República (FGR) to modernize the legal framework, aiming to reduce response times and combat impunity regarding irregularities from previous administrations.
