In 2014-2017, the Center did not reflect the budget advance amount in the accounting books, did not account for compensation costs due to breach of contract for auctioning assets to repay the budget as committed, but instead set aside funds and spent additional income on employees. In 2018-2021, the Center committed many violations in revenue, expenditure and financial management activities.
The violations occurring at the Center are serious, leading to the inability to pay advances from the budget and tax debts, health insurance debts, social insurance debts, salary debts..., showing signs of violating accounting regulations causing serious consequences according to the provisions of the Penal Code.
