ZAGREB, Feb 2 (Hina) - The Croatian Parliament House of
Representatives is discussing today the Report on the Work of the
State Audit Office in 1995 and the Report on the Completed Audit
for 1994. The representatives heard the details of the two reports
from the State Head Auditor, Sima Krasic. #L#
Audits of the state budget, funds, the City of Zagreb budget,
and budgets of 20 counties, 69 cities and 419 municipalities had
been completed during 1995, Krasic said, adding that the extensive
material, consisting of almost 11,000 pages, was being presented in
a reduced form, on almost 1,400 pages.
Krasic stressed that the public income in 1994, which is
subject to the state audit, amounted to some 41 billion kunas, or
some 50% of gross domestic product.
Speaking about the irregularities which were registered during
the audit, Krasic said that the 1993 state budget account was
missing.
Krasic also mentioned unauthorized spending, spending above
the allowed amount, failure to organize public competition for
purchases amounting to more than 50,000 German marks and non-
existence of plans on the basis of which the distribution of budget
resources could be carried out. A lot of mistakes had been
registered in the way the users of the state budget were keeping
their books, she added.
As regards the irregularities in the work of the units of
local self-government and administration, there was a large number
of those units which had either failed to work out or had worked
out completely wrong budgets, Krasic said. Income and expenditure
in those units were in 50% of the cases unbalanced and some units
did not have organized accounting departments. The biggest mistake
of the majority of units of local self-government and
administration was the lack of property statement. The Government
Office for Temporary Management of Property lacked such a statement
as well, Krasic said.
There were reports that the users of the state budget had had
less mistakes in 1995 than in 1994, Krasic said in the end.
