The document, received on July 21, 2026, in Yaoundé, is designed to bolster the ministry's internal control mechanisms and ensure more rigorous management of public funds.

The guide was developed by experts from the State Audit Authority (CONSUPE). Its official handover ceremony took place in MINEPAT's amphitheater, presided over by Economy Minister Alamine Ousmane Mey and the Minister Delegate to the Presidency in charge of State Control, Rose Mbah Acha Fomundam.
