The law proposal is in the Lower Chamber

The proposal of the Act on management and control of public finance, which is in the Lower Chamber of the Parliament and which should replace the existing dysfunctional Act on financial control in public administration, does not include crucial mechanisms for an efficient system of internal audit or reduction of duplicit and ineffective inspections and checks. The version of the Act sent by the government to the Loweer Chamber of the Parliament diverges from the European and international audit standards applicable to the public administration. At the same time, the conflict of interest in spending of public funds as well as the independence of the audit body is not dealt with sufficiently.
