Work plan in 2013
The NIK auditors have already started to investigate the budget execution by individual ministries. They are verifying how ministers were spending public money last year. Apart from budgetary audits NIK has planned for 2013 some audits concerning the performance of tasks by various public institutions. These are some of the areas that inspectors will have a closer look at:
- use of staff resources of the diplomatic service
- execution of the migration policy
- functioning of the system of protecting financial institutions’ clients
- fight against VAT frauds
- functioning of power- and gas networks
- pathology prevention in schools
- activity of the Central Sports Centre
- preparation of special military units, including GROM unit
- supervision of special forces
- road police
- speed cameras installed by the Road Transport Inspection and city guards
- prevention of drug addiction
- functioning of national parks
- protection of inhabitants of large cities against noise
- cancer prevention programme
- providing right to equal remuneration to men and women in the public sector
- construction of noise barriers on the A2 highway
- impact of visual monitoring on safety and security in the cities
Every year NIK checks more than 2.5 thousand institutions of central and local government administration. As a consequence, more than 3 thousand post-audit statements are developed. The financial dimension of irregularities detected by auditors translates yearly into a few or even a dozen or so PLN billion. In 2011, it was more than PLN 14 billion.
NIK hires 1650 employees, 75 percent of which are auditors. The budget of NIK in the past few years has been approximately PLN 250 million. As a result of NIK’s activity the State Treasury can save or recover a few PLN billion per year. In 2011 it was more than PLN 4 billion.
