Annual survey of Lithuania‘s top-ranking civil servants held by the weekly Veidas acknowledged that the National Audit Office of Lithuania is the most progressive and professional public institution of the year, and the Auditor General Rasa Budbergytė – the second best civil servant in Lithuania.

According to Ms Budbergytė, this appreciation for the National Audit Office proves only once more that public institutions start to understand and appreciate the work of public auditors. “Our constant efforts to become an open and progressive expert body helping public institutions to develop their activities bear the expected results. Increasing numbers of public institutions understand that we seek the same objective: to extract maximum benefit from public funds and other assets to Lithuanian people,“ says the Auditor General. “These achievements would not be possible without the coherent and competent staff of the National Audit Office, to whom I am very grateful for hard and professional work,“ added Ms Budbergytė.
