Slovak financial accountability systems
are strongly influenced by the Communist past but must meet
the needs of a European future. Fortunately, Slovakia has
the benefit of laws and institutions pre-dating communism,
easing the transition from one system to the other. Past
influences are still strong: centralization, strong
controls, and a uniform system of accounting based on a
chart of accounts. In the future, Slovakia will need
improved public financial management, fiscal
decentralization, a more competitive economy, an effective
capital market, and harmonization of standards with those of
the European Union. A good start has been made on many
fronts. But there is still tension between the culture of
control and a more flexible policy based on standards,
quality performance, accountability, and competition. Among
the specific, required financial management actions, the
report recommends ratifying the European Convention on money
laundering, establishing a public procurement office and
procurement monitoring procedures, completing the
legislative framework for internal and external financial
control, strengthening the Supreme Audit Office and
extending its audit mandate to cover public funds in
general, and publishing consolidated financial management
data relating to general government. |
