The National Audit Office will audit LTL 23.4 billion of European Union assistance in 2007-2013
|
In preparations to audit European Union structural assistance
for the period 2007-2013 the NAO has drawn up a Working Strategy
for the period. "Such audits are not a natural duty of a Supreme
Audit Institution, however, having positively rated our
experience in performing EU assistance audits of the previous
period the Seimas vested the NAO with this duty again," said the
Auditor General Rasa Budbergytë. |

Pursuant to the Strategy, the annual EU assistance audit will cover not
only all the management and control system institutions and action
programmes, their efficiency and regularity of the use of funds, but
also public procurement, State assistance, environment requirements,
equal opportunities, computer information management and maintenance
system of the EU structural assistance, information and publicity.
The NAO will submit reports and opinion on the use of the structural
assistance in Lithuania to the European Commission on a regular basis.
Annual report and opinion will be published on the internet page of the
NAO; the Seimas Committee on Audit, Special Investigation Service, as
well as Financial Crime Investigation Service will be notified as well.
The Audit Strategy drawn up by the NAO is approved by the European
Commission; today it was presented to members of the Seimas Committee on
Audit.
