Havana, October 8 (RHC) –- A national audit to take place from October 20th to November 28th will target the performance of the new cooperatives set up in non-agricultural areas, with the objective of controlling and helping their appropriate development.

During a press conference in Havana, Comptroller General Gladys Bejerano said that the audit will contribute to improve the emerging economic entities so that they are set up correctly and that the process has a preventive and educative nature aiming not only at detecting problems but also discovering their causes.

As to the agricultural area, Deputy Comptroller General Alina Vicente said that also in the spotlight will be the sale of produce in the provinces bordering Havana, Artemisa and Mayabeque, and also a group of important recycling companies, the sale of construction materials and the granting of land in usufruct.

Auditors include over 3,000 persons, with some 580 university students well trained for the process, who will also focus on accounting activities in the different entities.
