Accessibility

The content of the website of the Court of Audit is designed with the purpose to provide universal access to all of the published information – to anyone, at all times, and free of charge. Since the principle of universal access is limited by the health conditions of the users (i.e. visual, motion, hearing, cognitive and linguistic limitations) and technical limitations, we paid special attention to them and tried to adjust the website by considering the following recommendations:

  • font size may be adjusted,
  • key images are equipped with descriptions,
  • there are no moving pictures (GIFs),
  • names of the links are descriptive,
  • videos are mostly subtitled.

The website is optimised for multi-device browsing (computer, tablet, mobile phone) and compatible with different website browsers and software. Recommended is the use of the latest version of website browsers whenever it is possible to provide a better support to the users with disabilities and special needs.Despite the fact that we are aiming to increase the accessibility and usability of our website to the greatest extent possible, all the elements do not provide for the optimisation of the complete accessibility.

Therefore, some published contents do not meet all the demands related to accessibility as defined by the Accessibility of Websites and Mobile Applications Act. Those deficiencies are:

  • we use PDF format for documents:
    • audit reports and other reports with short summaries that are available in text (doc and docx documents) and
    • various presentations (i.e. infographics, posters, manuals);
  • home page provides three elements with scroll box for automatic rotation with limited use of the manual override;
  • photographs and other images are used for visual supplementing of contents related to news and articles; photographs and images are subtitled, include data about source and alternative text, but do not include detailed descriptions or transcriptions of texts, since the adjustment would cause disproportionate burden;
  • schematic presentation of organisational structure of the Court of Audit;
  • documentation of concluded public calls was not adapted, since interference with public procurement documentation of completed public calls is not allowed; when preparing the next public call, we shall follow the standards of accessibility.

Annual report of the Court of Audit for 2020

The mission of the Court of Audit is to inform the public and the National Assembly about important findings from the audits of operations of the users of public funds and, based on its experience and knowledge of good practice, to provide advice to the users of public funds on how to improve their operations. By disclosing irregularities and inefficiencies, it points to the responsibility of state bodies and holders of public office and thus serves for the benefit of all the citizens of the Republic of Slovenia and the European Union.

The mission of the Court of Audit as well as its audit powers, however, were uninterrupted even in this extremely extraordinary year 2020. In practice, new ways of working mostly affected our communication with the auditees. Despite that, the Court of Audit issued 64 audit reports in 2020, which is fully comparable with the previous years. In addition to audit reports, there were also 17 post-audit reports issued in 2020. Somewhat wider than in the previous years was also the scope of all audits since the reports addressed the operations of 139 auditees; total expenditure of all auditees in 2020 amounted to EUR 19.4 billion.

Among the issued audit reports in 2020, there is one of the most demanding audits implemented by the Court of Audit that has not yet been conducted in such scope by any other supreme audit institution in the world. The audit Implementation of supervision functions of the Bank of Slovenia among others tried to provide an answer to the question, whether the decisions of the Bank of Slovenia made in the recovery process of banking systems in 2013 were in accordance with relevant bases.

The importance of the work of the Court of Audit is justified by the received 300 initiatives for the implementation of audits last year and by our advisory role which resulted in 119 issued written responses, thus the Court of Audit provides advice to the users of public funds and thereby undoubtedly preventively affects the management of public funds.

Maintaining an independent position of state auditors, safeguarding and developing their professionalism, deeply rooted principle of equity and especially an appropriate legal framework for the institution’s operation shall be of key importance for the future of the Court of Audit. The Court of Audit is and will be the protector of objective, independent and efficient control over public money.
