Based on the results of the audit, the Dalnytska rural territorial community was provided with proposals aimed at improving the efficiency of using the financial and resource base of the local budget.

In particular, the auditors found that 11 contractors had unreasonably overstated the volume and cost of repair and construction work performed, including technical supervision, totaling more than UAH 1,170,000.

During the calculation and payment of salaries to employees of institutions subordinated to and accountable to the Dalnytsia Village Council, violations of the law totaling more than UAH 350 thousand were found, including bonuses to the deputy village head, allowances and additional payments to pedagogical staff of educational institutions, payment for additional vacations, payment to external part-time workers for unworked hours.
