Within the framework of the management of files identified and audited under the floating debt of the State and its branches, for the 2000-2019 period,
The Minister of Finance hereby informs service providers and other beneficiaries whose claims have been validated and published on the www.minfi.gov.cm and www.dgb.cm websites, that they must imperatively produce the original supporting documents of the related files, to be presented from October 31, 2024, on the ground floor of the R+3 glass annex building, of the Directorate General of Budget, situated in the Fouda neighbourhood, located between the TOTAL FOUDA filling Station and the JOUVENCE 2000 Hotel. An appropriate mechanism is put in place to allow the receipt and verification of the said documents. Beneficiaries of academic debt are not concerned by this verification.
An Instruction of the Minister of Finance setting out the budgetary and accounting procedures applicable to the clearance of this debt was signed to this effect. Depending on the nature of the receivables concerned, the various required documents are annexed to this press release.
Particularly with regard to commercial debt, which is jointly supported by the State and the debtor entities, the payment to the service providers will be made in full according to the programming adopted for this purpose, then the recourse measures of withholding 30% will be applied to the debtor entities in accordance with the provisions relating thereto contained in the above-mentioned instruction.
The payment windows used for the settlement of the floating debt are: the Ad hoc Specialized Pay office and the Autonomous Sinking Fund (CAA). To do this, the ad hoc Specialized Pay office ensures the payment of the tax-customs debt, the commercial debt of the central public administrations (ministries and similar structures) and the academic debt. The Autonomous Sinking Fund is the payment window for the social debt, the rental debt, other commercial debts (RLAs, Public Establishments and Enterprises), and compensation.
Service providers and beneficiaries liable to the tax authorities (DGT and DGC) or the Debt Recovery Company (SRC), will be subject to deductions, to the tune of the said debts.
In addition, the Minister of Finance reserves the right to cancel any validated debt if new elements prove the non-accountability of its basis, and the alleged beneficiary could also be prosecuted for attempted misappropriation of public funds.
