10:34; 03 December 2025 year

As a result of the audit conducted by the Control Chamber, it was found that the Federal State Unitary Enterprise "Rostransmodernizatsiya" was not sufficiently effectively using the federal budget funds allocated for the construction and reconstruction of transport infrastructure from 2021 to 2025. The total amount of funds allocated was 311 billion rubles, however, the deadlines for the completion of most projects were shifted. The audit showed that the "Rostransmodernizatsiya" received funding for the implementation of 108 projects, out of which 65 projects were planned to be completed. However, 57 of these projects had their deadlines shifted. The main reasons for the delay in the implementation of the activities were: poor quality of the project documentation, slow work execution rates, and the bankruptcy of contractors. Moreover, the audit report notes that no claims were made against the designers for compensation for damages caused by the defective project documentation. During the audit, violations in the conclusion and implementation of state contracts were also identified, including an overestimation of the initial maximum contract price (NMC), unjustified increase in the cost of work and improper acceptance of completed work. Analysis of completed and terminated contracts revealed the presence of accounts receivable for unused advance payments exceeding 8 billion rubles. "Overall, the identified violations and shortcomings indicate insufficient economic use of budgetary funds, poor planning of expenses, and point to the presence of reserves for reducing the prices of work within the framework of contracts," said auditor of the Control Chamber, Boytsova Elena.
