Opposition status-opposital duties, whether there is no increase of interior audiences

Today's session continued with the review of the Government's annual report on the functioning of the internal finance control system in Kosovo's public sector for 2017, where government representatives said there are improvements, while MPs said the changes are very small and had some requests for the Ministry of Finance.

Minister Hamza, presenting the Government's annual report on the functioning of the internal finance control system in Kosovo's public sector for 2017 to MPs, has said that information derived from the self-evaluating questionnaire, monitoring and analysis made is an improvement in all components of internal control management.

“The number of interior audiences has increased by 30 % or from 98 to 128. Indoor auditing units during 2017 conducted 497 internal audits that compared with 2016, we have an increase in audits conducted by 492 from 497. The issues of future financial management and control management are as follows; there is a need for improvement in the planning and execution process, increased efficiency and processes related to public procurement, recruiting internal staff for internal auditing, maintenance of the property registry, reporting and collection of revenues, the implementation of procedures for irregularities, advancing processes related to information technology, and the extraction of various documents standardizing the internal processes of each budgetary organisation<1x>

Mergim Lushtaku, on behalf of the Assembly Commission, spells out some recommendations for the Ministry of Finance, which should continue with the national programme for the Certificate of interior audiences and maintain training for workers who have been certified but are not working as audiences.

Must complete the interior audience unit within the assembly by one employed to at least three employees. The finance ministry supports the institutions' demands regarding the increased staff for the positions of the interior audience, in particular for those institutions that have not yet met the positions for interior audiences”, he said.

PSD deputy Faton Topalli, on the other hand, said there is no positive change to himself from 2016 to 2017.

If we compare 2016 to 2017, the change turns out to be very small, so since 2016 was 2,62 %, in 2017, 2.57, the maximum swim is 3, which means we have a drop compared to 0.51 %. As far as risk management is concerned, we also have a 0.2 % compared to 2016”, he said.

Also considered are several other bills, such as changing and completing the Law on the Prevention and Sanction of Violence and Negative Events in Sports Events, the Bill on Change and Fulfilling the Law on Cinematography, the Bill on Change and Fulfilling of the Law on Author Rights and Appropriation, the Bill on Change and Fulfilling of the Law on Cultural Heritage, and other Bills.
