1812 (Financial Integrity and Transparency): The government implemented a rigorous system of financial oversight by establishing a commission for the “examination of the public accounts.” Men of “unimpeachable integrity” were appointed to replace officials who did not stand clear in their duties, ensuring the proper management of the state’s wealth. This administrative reform allowed the state to fully realize its resources, ensuring that the troops were properly clothed, equipped, and paid. The King’s focus on the “wise administration of the revenues” was framed as the primary means of saving the state from internal decay. Sanders highlighted these fiscal measures as essential to the “Rise and Progress” of the Haytian nation.
