Request for information and documents should not be seen as fishing for trouble or asking for too much as this conforms with international best practices,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Ikhariale said the documents the APC team required from the outgoing government are all assets and liabilities, all Edo state assets located outside the state, detailed report of all Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC) and Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) report 2020 till date.<\/p>\n<p>They also asked for detailed report of the Derivation Fund to the state 2020 till date, all maturing legal obligations 2020 till date which include all contracts, pending or ongoing.<\/p>\n<p>Others are total indebtedness (local and foreign) from 2020 till date, including bonds and treasury bills, all approved contracts by the state government from 2020 till date.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSize, number, and structure of all MDAs including Human Resource records\/data on public\/civil servants and their roles. These should also include achievements and gaps if any to date.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll annual financial Audit reports published and unpublished, a report of the 2024 appropriation and performance to date including the revised budget. This should also include the current Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll Public Private Partnerships (PPP) arrangements and Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs), all state-backed initiatives, and all fiscal treasury instruments such as treasury bills.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll assets sold by the state between 2020 till date, bank balances across all financial institutions, all programs being managed by nonstate actors, total monthly personnel cost (recurrent et al). \u201cAll federal refunds, existing partnerships with development partners. (credit, grants, and aids\/Technical Assistance), existing arrangements with any federal agency and all laws passed or amended between 2020 and till date. \u201cPayroll structure \/current wage bill including remuneration of consultants, a report of the current technology deployed by the state and nature of the partnership, any other relevant information that will be useful to the incoming administration\u201d he added.
