On November 20, 2015, a delegation from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) led by Head of Division at the OECD Economics Department Mr. Andreas Wörgötter arrived at the SAO for a meeting, which was also attended by Ambassador and Permanent Representative of the Czech Republic to the OECD Mr. Pavel Rozsypal. The aim of the OECD mission to the Czech Republic is to prepare an economic survey for the year 2016, which should be published in May 2016 and will contain an assessment of macro-economic indicators in the Czech Republic, economic developments, and recommendations for the future as well as specific chapters dealing with a prospective productivity boost, a convergence in revenues, and efficiency gains in public services. The OECD prepares and publishes such surveys dealing with individual member states every 18 months.
On the agenda of the meeting were topics related to audits performed in the area of EU funds management, awarding public contracts, costs of research and development. Delegates from the OECD were also interested in current auditing powers of the SAO, audit planning processes, and possibilities for follow-up audits. Participants of the meeting also discussed performance indicators.
Within the frame of the OECD mission to the Czech Republic, the OECD experts also met with representatives from various Czech ministries and other institutions.
