The National Audition Office (ZKA) published the auditing report “assessment implementation of recommendations for implementing performance auditing reports of performance.
The subject of the rating report was 123 recommendations given in seven performance audit reports published during 2018 involving 46 public institutions.
The implementation of several recommendations on the individual level of audited subjects in three out of seven performance audit reports has affected improving the identified situation.
However, given that recommendations for these reports were given about five years ago, the commitments of audited subjects to implement the recommendations given are not enough.
According to the results of the assessment, the level of full implementation of recommendations for the seven performance audit reports was 37%, while 25% of the recommendations are addressed and are in different phases of their implementation, while the rest (3.8%) have not been implemented, are no longer applicable, as well as for some of them no answers have been provided.
Of the 123 recommendations provided, 45 of them have been implemented, seven are in the final phase of implementation, 10 recommendations are being implemented, five recommendations have not started to be implemented, 14 recommendations are no longer applicable to addressed subjects (for nine of them responsibilities have been passed on to other subjects until five are non-applicable anymore), while for 42 audited recommendations have failed to answer if any action is taken for their implementation.
Regarding this audit report, the General Auditor Vlora Spanca said that the lack of preparation for the action plan, the failure of several institutions to respond to the assessment, as well as the insufficient number of recommendations applied, indicate the lack of dedication of public institutions to improve their performance and manage public money.
In addition to shortcomings, the assessment finds that institutions have taken certain actions that could result in improved environmental, health, social issues, procurement and employment activities.
The assessment of the implementation of recommendations as the monitoring process is realised according to the International Standards of Supreme Audition Institutions.
