State Audit Institution

The state auditor of public finances. In its audit of Krušik it found that GIM had invoiced end buyers $16.5 million above the contracted prices without justifying the difference, and at RTS it found 3.5 billion dinars improperly paid to outside productions. It has never audited the Ministry of Family Welfare, did not examine the procurement of New Year lighting in Belgrade, and “could not assess” the effects of Telekom's 2019 media purchases.
