Special Report 3/2017

Financial audit on expenditures of Region of Central Macedonia (the Thessaloniki Regional Unit)

The main conclusion of the audit is that: because of the ineffective and cost-effective use of public resources on a case-by-case, as a result of inherent weaknesses in the internal control system, as well as the weaknesses of financial information procedures in the context of public governance mainly due to non-preparation of financial statements, there are risks relating to the legality, regularity, and incorrect accounting monitoring and ultimately to the efficiency and efficiency of the services provided.

The Hellenic Court of Audit made the relevant recommendations and will carry out a follow-up audit.
