The Court of Audit followed this mission also last year when it published 62 audit reports and 23 post-audit reports. Whereby it reviewed 112 auditees and thus expressed 85 opinions. Audit reports usually attract the attention of the public, in particular the Court of Audit received great publicity in the media by presenting its findings on critical lack of legal framework related to long-term care systems for older people. The visibility and the importance of the work done by the Court of Audit is reconfirmed also because it received 395 initiatives to implement audits last year. Within the advisory role of the Court of Audit 123 written responses were prepared providing guidelines to the public funds users, thereby the Court of Audit undoubtedly preventively affects the management of public funds.
