2025 Procurement Audit Task Force Evaluation Results Released: 6 Local Governments, 4 Ministries Receive Excellent Rating

The Public Construction Commission of the Executive Yuan announced on April 13, 2026, the results of the 2025 (Year 114 of the Republic) performance evaluation for Procurement Audit Task Forces. Four ministries, including the Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Health and Welfare, Ministry of the Interior, and Ministry of Environment, along with six local governments, namely Taoyuan City, New Taipei City, Taipei City, Taichung City, Tainan City, and Penghu County, received an "Excellent" rating. The Commission stated in a press release today that 16 ministries and 22 local governments have established Procurement Audit Task Forces. The agencies that received an "Excellent" rating not only maintained complete case files and produced excellent audit reports but also demonstrated timely administrative processing, effectively followed up on corrective actions by audited agencies, and proactively promoted lessons learned from deficiency cases, thereby establishing problem-solving mechanisms to maximize the effectiveness of audit supervision. The Commission explained that the core purpose of the procurement audit mechanism is to actively assist various agencies in conducting procurement legally and correcting improper conduct through audit and supervision, thereby creating a more open, fair, and transparent procurement environment. The Commission noted that the 2025 evaluation results show that audit agencies have generally demonstrated a proactive attitude of continuous improvement and effective supervision. This is related to the "Whole Life Cycle Procurement Audit and Supervision Focus" promoted by the Commission since 2019 (Year 108 of the Republic). Through this system, the scope of audits is no longer limited to the legality of single-stage procedures but extends to the entire life cycle of procurement, contributing to the continuous and stable improvement of audit and supervision effectiveness. The Commission stated that in the future, it will continue to cooperate with audit task forces of various agencies to deepen supervision efforts. In addition to requiring compliance with procurement procedures, it will also strengthen the representativeness of audit selections through data analysis, leveraging audit quality and supervision effectiveness to enhance government administrative efficiency and deepen public trust in public construction and procurement processes.
