Question 15509 — ministries and secretariats of state

Summary

Ms. Élisabeth Toutut-Picard questions the Minister of the Economy and Finance on the remuneration of senior management of economic and financial ministries. In a statement of final observations sent in February 2010 to the Government on the management and remuneration of senior management of central administrations for the period 2003-2008, the Court of Auditors noted the irregular nature of bonuses and compensation paid in financial ministries. A new survey carried out in 2011 on the central administration and decentralized services highlighted that the legal rules on compensation were still not fully respected. In its summary judgment S2017-2824 of October 12, 2017 on the remuneration of senior management of financial ministries, the Court showed that most compensation and bonuses served now have an appropriate legal basis. On the other hand, it notes the persistence of irregularities for the senior management bodies of the General Directorate of Public Finances (DGFiP) and the General Directorate of Customs and Indirect Duties (DGDDI), due to lack of a legal basis or through irregular recourse to the additional allocation of functions. It also demonstrates the inconsistency of the remuneration system between decentralized services and central administrations. In particular, the compensation regime for general administrators of public finances, a majority of whom perform accounting functions, is very high compared to that of other senior management bodies of the State. According to the Court, these differences in remuneration pose problems of fairness, severely limit the mobility of agents and penalize the proper functioning of departments concerned. The Court of Auditors therefore recommended that the economic and financial ministries immediately put an end to the irregularities noted in connection with the payment of compensation without a regulatory basis and to put an end to the over-remuneration of general administrators of public finances. She asks him what measures the Government has taken to put an end to these irregularities and these unjustified pay gaps.
