A twinning project implemented by the State Audit Office of the Republic of Croatia in cooperation with the National Audit Office of the United Kingdom started in December 2004 and is to end in June 2007.
The project is financed by the European Commission within the framework of the CARDS programme.
The project is worth 1.6 million EUR, with a further 400,000 EUR spent on the purchase of IT hardware and software.
The objective of the project is to contribute to a well-functioning Public Internal Financial Control (PIFC) system by strengthening the external oversight of budget execution. This will be achieved by:
- strengthening the legal framework for external audit (whenever necessary);
- the application of core external audit processes in line with international standards and good European practice;
- strengthening the organisationa, management of human resources and information systems of the SAO;
- improved information technology of the SAO.
Within the framework of the project, a range of activities including training courses, seminars, the development of manuals and pilot audits have been performed.
Implementation of the project will ensure that the Office (SAO) is in line with international standards and best practice of state audits in Europe.
