The National Polytechnic Institute (IPN) has publicly asserted its financial integrity, announcing that its central administration has successfully passed 16 financial reviews conducted between 2025 and 2026. These rigorous audits, carried out by the Superior Audit Office of the Federation (ASF), the Secretariat of Anticorruption and Good Governance, the Internal Control Body, and external firms, have consistently shown 'clean accounts,' according to the institute.

This brings the total number of audits to 26 since the current administration, led by Director General Arturo Reyes Sandoval, began in December 2020. The IPN leadership highlighted that these audits are a normal and constant part of their operations, positioning the institute as one of the most scrutinized entities within the federal government. Director General Reyes Sandoval reiterated the administration's firm commitment to a zero-tolerance policy towards any irregularities, vowing to act against any public servant involved in illegal activities.

Unless there is something else, but those audits continue and those audits are a normal process... I think we are among the most audited of the organisms that have the most control.

— Arturo Reyes SandovalDirector General of the IPN, commenting on the frequency and nature of financial audits the institute undergoes.

The scope of these audits has been comprehensive, covering areas such as scholarships, income and expenses, surplus resources, and financial management. While acknowledging that audits commonly result in recommendations and observations, the IPN stressed that these are typically addressable. Looking ahead, the institute is prepared for an additional eight audits in 2026, including a significant review of cybersecurity by the ASF. This proactive stance and transparency in financial matters underscore the IPN's dedication to responsible governance and accountability.

my administration has maintained a policy of zero tolerance for irregularities. We have acted, and will continue to act, against any public servant who engages in illegalities, as this has been the focus of my administration.
