Inspection of Bac Lieu Medical College recommends recovering more than 2 billion dong

An inspection of Bac Lieu Medical College has identified more than 2 billion dong requiring financial recovery after inspectors found repeated problems in the institution’s management of public assets and funds.

The Ca Mau Inspectorate said it had issued conclusions on the college’s compliance with financial and property regulations from 2023 through 2025. During those three years, the college recorded more than 65.136 billion dong in total revenue and over 46.855 billion dong in expenditure. The inspection noted that the college had covered its regular operating costs without state budget funding since 2019, including more than 54.908 billion dong during the review period.

The inspectorate ordered 171.5 million dong to be recovered into a temporary account for payment to the state budget. The money came from leasing a garage for cars using public property without approval from the competent authority. It also recommended that the college recover more than 1.884 billion dong from employees and return the money to the institution. Inspectors classified more than 1.116 billion dong as spending that violated regulations and more than 767.836 million dong as spending that exceeded available fund sources.

Among the cited cases, the college advanced and settled 445.5 million dong to cover all tuition for an English-language class outside its training plan for 18 employees. Inspectors said 222.75 million dong of that amount exceeded the permitted 50% limit. The college also used its operational development fund to provide 569 million dong in Lunar New Year benefits, which the conclusion said did not comply with regulations. Other findings included improper use of welfare funds, an unauthorized 20% professional allowance for administrative staff, and welfare and supplementary-income payments exceeding available funds.

Inspectors also said the college failed to allocate the required minimum 8% of tuition revenue for scholarships. The conclusion cited accounting errors, unfinished advances of more than 131.224 million dong, and improper treatment of tuition receivables exceeding 690.917 million dong. At the end of 2025, the accounting balance for deposits was 19.25 million dong higher than the bank’s confirmation because one transaction had been recorded twice.
