The law proposal is in the Lower Chamber

The proposal of the Act on management and control of public finances, which is in the Lower Chamber of the Parliament, requires, within the framework of the preliminary assessment of an expenditure operation, that before the planned expenditure from the public budget is realised the possible options on how to satisfy the public need in relation to the objective of management and control of public finances be assessed. The obligation to perform the preliminary assessment is, however, dependent – next to the amount to be set by an internal regulation of the authority in question – , on the risk evaluation of the main economists of the same authority, so that the assessment may not be performed in the same way by all public authorities.
