On 27-29 September 2016 in Bonn, in the headquarters of the Supreme Audit Institution of Germany, an annual meeting was held of the members of the INTOSAI Working Group on the Fight against Corruption and Money Laundering. At the meeting, the document developed under the leadership of NIK – INTOSAI GOV 9160 was adopted, dedicated to the role of public organisations, including Supreme Audit Institutions, in the promotion of the concept of collaborative public assets management. Once the guideline has been adopted by the INTOSAI Congress, it will be used in over 190 countries.
The objective of the audit was to assess the activities undertaken by local self-government units (JSTs) related to observing the set indebtedness limits and to execution of selected budget incomes. The following audit areas have been set: whether JSTs properly financed the budget deficit and met their liabilities, whether they observed the indebtedness limits set by the law and fairly presented information of the level of debt, whether incomes from taxes and charges were obtained properly. It was decided that the audit would cover 11 out of 83 municipalities of the Lubuskie region, taking into account the level of their debt. NIK’s own studies have been supplemented with the analysis of the data obtained from the Regional Accounting Chamber in Zielona Góra, related to the financial situation of all JSTs in the region.
Over the last years, an increase has been observed in taking out from Poland of large amounts of refunded medicines, mainly those that save health and lives of patients, such as insulins, anti-asthmatics, antithrombotic and anti-cancer drugs. The uncontrolled taking out of these medicines has reached the level that cannot be socially acceptable, and that does not allow for providing patients with permanent access to important medical products. Pharmacies, instead of selling drugs to patients, sold them back to pharmaceutical wholesale companies. The latter, in turn, took them out on a massive scale to countries where they are much more expensive. Such a situation was an incentive for NIK to conduct a planned coordinated audit entitled “State Pharmaceutical Inspectorate’s performance of tasks set out in the Act: Pharmaceutical Law”.
The ability of public organizations for public-private cooperationIn this paper, on the basis of own research and research of other authors, the attempt has been taken to identify the conditions and the ability of public organizations for public-private cooperation, and ways for its improvement. It was established that the part of local governments did not realize properly the public-private cooperation. For the realization and the co-financing of undertakings by both public entities and private partners, an ignorance of concomitance principles constitutes the serious barrier of public-private cooperation. One should prepare and publish examples of best practices about public-private cooperation.
