Organisational Structure

 

Supreme Audit Office of the Slovak Republic in brief

SAO SR is an auditing/controlling institution of Westminster type (monocratic leadership) to perform external audits/controls in State and regional municipalities’ administration.

Its head is a President elected for 7 years tenure that can be extended by another 7 years providing successful election performed by the national body setting the law framework and adopting individual laws (National Council of the Slovak Republic – Parliament). The same applies to the SAO SR Vice-Presidents.

In 2021, SAO SR consists of a President and a Vice-President, all elected by the National Council of the Slovak Republic. They have to their disposal the SAO SR headquarters sedated in Bratislava and 290 SAO SR full-time employees. 

The SAO SR headquarter consist of two sections with several organisational units providing support services (Office of the President, Human Resources, Communication Department, Strategy and Analysis Department and Internal Auditor Desk and Quality Assessment unit). There are also seven regional branches seated in regional centres that audit the self-governing regional, district and local municipalities (more than 2 900).
