translated from Spanish: Audit detects likely damage by 24 mdp in CNH

The National Hydrocarbons Commission (CNH) spent 267 million pesos for Information and Communications Technologies, but there are contracts with service duplications and software licenses, and in one case there are no mechanisms for validating the technological equipment received.
Therefore, the Federation’s Superior Audit (ASF) audited a sample of the total and noted an amount to be clarified for 24 million 254 thousand pesos which it warns as a “likely injury to the Public Treasury”, as concluded in the First Public Account Report of 2018.

The Commission signed the CNH-39/2016 contract with Dowell Schlumberger de México, S.A. de C.V. for a maximum amount of 254 million pesos, for the “Development, establishment, administration and maintenance of the National Hydrocarbon Information Center ( CNIH), as well as the realization of Digital Data Rooms”, effective from September 29, 2014 to September 28, 2019.
However, the Audit found that “there is duplication in the services” concerning providing all the software and unlimited software licensing corresponding to the operation of the CNIH, since the CNH-59/2016 contract required the same service by the 23 million 110 thousand pesos were paid during 2018.
There is no evidence to validate that the staff who participated in the development of the work is the same as that presented in the supplier’s proposal and that the supplier has the experience and knowledge required to fulfill its functions , in accordance with the profiles defined in the technical annex.

The CNH did not have documentation to prove the delivery of the licenses by the supplier for the provision of the services; 4 of the 30 monitors described in the 2018 technical reports provided by the supplier were not located. Although the Commission stated that those equipment were withdrawn from the CNH by the service provider, there is no evidence to prove that output.

“There is also a presumed existence of duplication with the licensing services required under the CNH-39/2014 contract for which payments of 23 million pesos were made.
These irregularities, the Audit warned, are due to “lack of oversight and control in the monitoring of delivery of services by the provider”.
