Management of the state property and the State Budget funds by geographical and cadastral authorities
Press release on completion of the auditing operation No. 05/30
The auditing operation was included in the Annual Audit Plan of the Supreme Audit Office (hereinafter referred to as “SAO”) for the year 2005 under No. 05/30. The auditing operation was managed and the audit conclusion drawn up by Mr. Jiří Kalivoda, Member of the SAO.
The aim of the auditing operation was to examine the observance of the legal conditions for management of the state property. The auditing operation covered the period 2004 and 2005 at 13 audited entities.
The audit found out deficiencies particularly in connection with the reorganization of the cadastral offices’ subdivisions. The audited geographical and cadastral authorities managing of the state property e.g. proceeded in conflict with the Act No. 219/2000 on the property of the Czech Republic and its legal relationships, when they neglected obligations linked with sale and winding up of the not needed property in volume of more than CZK 4 million.
Auditors also noted deficiencies in connection with neglecting of the Financial Control Act when just the well functioning internal control system could prevent many breaches of law.
It is possible to consider as a serious finding the fact that tasks of the State Metrological Centre of the Research Institute of Geodesy, Topography and Cartography are partly entrusted to a business company when a personal interconnection emerged between this business company and a managerial employee of the Research Institute of Geodesy, Topography and Cartography.
