Parliament Has Yet to Find Solutions to Increase Implementation of Court of Accounts Recommendations

Economist Tatiana Savva found that the recommendations are of good quality, yet only 36.4% have been implemented. Operational recommendations reached over 68%, up by more than 18%, while those requiring legal changes (20% of the total) stood at only 35%, even with deadlines extended to 18 months. Central and local authorities perform similarly: almost 50% reply on time with quality answers, but only 20% of solutions bring real change.

Causes include weak parliamentary oversight, insufficient involvement of superior institutions and the Government, understaffing and low qualifications, and the Court's low authority. The study proposes that a parliamentary committee review key reports and that the Government submit an annual implementation report. Court member Petru Rotaru described follow-up audits, consultations and sanctions as accountability mechanisms.
