She recalled that the Office had conducted 5,390 audits in seven
years.
Krasic said there were objective reasons why the State Audit Office
did not set up a legal section which would legally define
irregularities established during auditing. Lawyers should take
over from economists, she said, adding that there was no money for
experts after the Office's budget was restricted as a result of
government saving.
Commenting on remarks heard during parliamentary debate as to the
criteria for the selection of companies audited thus far, Krasic
said the law did not stipulate the order of auditing.
The basic criterion the State Audit Office used was the number of
requests submitted for auditing, she said.
