NATIONAL RESEARCH FUND
The majority of
test-checks conducted on projects awarded from 2007 to 2013 under three
grant schemes administered by the NRF - the Proof-of-Concept (POC) Grant
Scheme, the Competitive Research Programme (CRP) Funding Scheme and the
NRF Fellowship - revealed laxity in reviewing progress reports
submitted by grant recipients and in taking follow-up action when
projects did not meet specified milestones, the Auditor-General's Office
(AGO) said.
"As a result, there was no assurance that the
intended objectives of the grant schemes had been achieved. Such lapses
could lead to wastage of public funds," the AGO stated.
