CROATIAN GOVERNMENT ACCEPTS FINDINGS OF STATE AUDIT OFFICE

ZAGREB, Dec 4 (Hina) - Croatian Finance Minister Bozo Prka told a session of the House of Representatives on Wednesday that the Government fully accepts the findings of the State Audit Office. "It's clear that there have been mistakes, but it's evident that the management of state property and state expenditure is increasingly improving," Prka said. Prka said that the Decree on Procurement and the introduction of the State Treasury had played an important part in the control of state expenditures. Labour and Social Welfare Minister Joso Skara said that he had dismissed top officials at some funds and institutes after a report by the State Audit Office and a discussion on this matter in Parliament.
