Special Report 2/2014

Audit of internal control system in the Regular Unemployment Benefits of the Manpower Employment Organization

The audit highlighted weaknesses and shortcomings in the system of internal controls relating, for example, to the payment process, which in some cases are considered to be particularly serious, on the one hand because of the risk of waste, irregularities or even abusive acts they involve, and on the other hand because of the risk of not achieving the objective of finding work for the unemployed.

The Hellenic Court of Auditors made recommendations on this and followed a follow-up audit.
