Principe of work Principe of work is as follows:  We receive reports from Audit office  Then we send these reports to the member of Board, which consists of nine members (because it is impossible that all members review all received reports)  After reading reports, each member of the Board presents his views with arguments and recommendations in case any of these audit reports should be forward to consideration to the National Assembly  After the Board makes decision about forwarding reports to the National Assembly, Board organizes public hearings  After the public hearing Board makes its conclusions and views which are discussed at the session of the Assembly

Public hearings In case of all negative reports we organized public hearings. The public hearings are attended by representatives of the Audit office (the Auditor-General with assistants), representatives of the Institution audited, representatives of the relevant ministries and the media (the public) The results of public hearings are less negative audited reports than in previous years and bigger responsibility of budget users in spending public money.
