　On the 5th, the Board of Audit submitted to Prime Minister Fumio Kishida a financial results inspection report for 2020, which states that there were 210 projects that needed improvement such as wasteful use of national expenses and inappropriate accounting, which amounted to 210.8 billion yen. Due to the spread of the new coronavirus infection, on-site inspections were suppressed by 40% from the previous year. For this reason, the number of indications was lower than last year, which was the lowest since 1994.

　In terms of the amount pointed out by ministry / organization, the Ministry of Finance had the highest amount at 160,352.68 million yen. The Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries was 22,770,180,000 yen, NTT West was 10,726,390,000 yen, and the Japan Housing Finance Agency was 8,690,790,000 yen.

　Regarding the measures against the new corona, the current survey status is included even for projects that do not reach improvement requests because "a large amount of national expenses have been invested". He pointed out that about 30% of the cloth masks called "Abenomasks" for all households and the cloth masks procured for distribution to nursing homes were kept in the warehouse and cost a lot of money. The "Go To" project, which supports tourism and restaurants, and the employment adjustment subsidy also had multiple problems such as unauthorized use. (Ryota Goto)
