The Supreme Audit Office (SAO) auditors of the Slovak Republic found that the new office's representatives' steps were often non-transparent and formal, and the internal control system was not functional. "The office's proceedings were not transparent and, in some cases, raised doubts about the true reasons for some of the decisions made by the office," said Henrieta Crkoňová, the SAO's vice president. 

The Authority for Spatial Planning violated several laws, such as those on public procurement, financial control and audit, and budget rules. It also did not comply with government regulations on spending limits when purchasing official cars and with the national anti-corruption policy.
