The Court of Auditors (CCR)focuses its attention on the most frequent and significant problems and irregularities identified in the audit process, so that, in partnership with the audited public entities, they contribute to the consolidation of public finance management, says the court's chairman, Mihai Busuioc.

According to a CCR social media post, Busuioc participated in a general assembly of the National Union of Romania's County Councils (UNCJR).

Busuioc is said to have presented the reform process the court has gone through - a transformation that has led to the alignment with the best international practices, contributing to increasing transparency and efficiency in the management of public finances. At the same time, he presented the results of the audit missions carried out in 2024 at the county councils.

"The Court of Auditors focuses its attention on the most frequent and significant problems and irregularities identified in the audit process, so that, in partnership with the audited public entities, we contribute to strengthening the management of public finances. The new methodological approach facilitates the identification of problems and solutions in a more efficient and constructive way. During the audit process, we promote open, transparent and continuous communication, offering audited entities the opportunity to put forth their own plan for implementing the recommendations," said Busuioc.

During the audit missions carried out at the county councils, the identified deficiencies concerned staff remuneration, the way of awarding and administering the contracts for the provision of services/public procurements, making payments for products/works/services not executed in the quantity invoiced and paid, ensuring the accuracy of the data in the financial statements and the management of the public and private patrimony of the counties.

In order to remedy these deficiencies, the court recommend training the staff involved to be up to date with the legislative changes, consulting the regulatory institutions in the field of payroll, for specialised methodological guidance, thus preventing errors and possible appeals or disputes with employees and coordination with the bodies responsible for methodology in the field of public procurement, for the unification of the interpretation of the legislation through guides and rules for contracting authorities.
