Effective communication
It also requires strong partnerships. Journalists and NGOs are not only sources of information dissemination, but also important participants in the process of increasing public accountability. That is why the Chamber of Accounts advocates media-friendly formats and constant dialog with civil society – from planning to implementation of recommendations.
Participation of representatives of the institution in thematic events, university courses or seminars contributes to the formation of a culture of integrity and responsibility recognized both at the national and international level.
Results achieved – ownership and motivation
Recognition by platforms such as Open Budget Survey or Expert-Grup is not only a confirmation of progress, but also a commitment. Fifth place out of 125 (78 out of 100 points) countries in public audit oversight is not only an outstanding result, but also a call for perseverance in achieving goals.
At the same time, we face challenges. Low levels of implementation require intervention. Here, the citizen can be a catalyst for change – through active participation in monitoring recommendations, through awareness-raising campaigns, public consultations and the use of citizen accountability mechanisms.
Education – investing in the future
Citizen education in the field of audit is essential. Cooperation with academic institutions, organized visits, roundtables and thematic lessons bring young people closer to the realities of financial management. This is an investment in generations that will carry the ideals of transparency and good governance.
Dynamic and open dialog
An effective communication strategy should be two-way. Not only transmit, but also listen. Not only publishing, but also dialoguing. This means accessible language, an active presence in the public space, creative initiatives and interactive digital platforms.
The future of public audit depends not only on audit quality, but also on how convincingly our messages reach people. It is our duty to turn technical findings into civic lessons and recommendations into collective responsibility.
More than mere conformism is needed on our European journey. We need institutional empathy, participation and informed communities of people. The Court of Auditors is ready to pursue this transformation. But to make it a reality, we need broad, sustained and courageous citizen participation.
