Raymond Hill, Team Leader for Public Internal Financial Control in the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Budget, also delivered a speech at the conference.
“The European Commission promotes ongoing cooperation between all countries in the western Balkan region. This Seminar in North Macedonia has been a great success and countries have demonstrated progress with the improvement of internal control systems. The European Commission will continue to provide technical support for further implementation of the reforms – Hill said.
Exchange of experience in the field of public internal financial control are of great significance taking into account that the establishment of efficient system increases the efficiency in using the public funds. At the same time, the efficient functioning of the public internal control system is of crucial importance for cost-effective, responsible, transparent and accountable operations.
However, in March this year, the Government of the Republic of North Macedonia adopted the Public Internal Financial Control Policy Paper with Action Plan for the period 2019-2021. It is a matter of a strategic document for further development of the internal control system in the public sector in our country.
In line with the Action Plan of this document, some of the activities envisaged in the past period have already been implemented, such as the preparation of the Draft Law on Public Internal Financial Control.
