In addition to the foregoing remark concerning inadequate budgeting, the State Audit Office remarked upon the use of income received from economic activities. Namely, the additional remuneration of a little more than 0.5 million kroons was paid to employees who were not engaged in earning the revenue, which is in conflict with the budget that specifies separate expenditure rows for personnel costs. Another remark was that the Institute had purchased goods and services for 2.6 million kroons without carrying out a public procurement procedure. According to the Public Procurement Office, misdemeanour proceedings will be commenced after the explanations provided by the Institute have been reviewed.
Other than the aforementioned remarks, the State Audit Office is of the opinion that in the remaining aspects Annual Accounts of the organisation for the year 2003 comply, in material respects, with the Minister of Finance Regulation titled “Preparation, Submission and Approval of Annual Reports for the Year 2003,” and the rest of the economic transactions comply, in material respects, with the legislation.
