THE COUNTRY: ECONOMIC POLICY<br />
MANAGEMENT OF THE STATE FUNDS AND PROPERTY<br />
A large problem in Montenegro nowadays is the manner of functioning of public enterprises that<br />
inherited a manner of management from the period of transition during the nineties, when transparency<br />
and public work almost did not exist, and the level of misuse of job position and public<br />
resources reached its peak. The next examples of the functioning of public enterprises are the<br />
models by which most of them function today, by which, despite failure to comply with the law,<br />
such acting does not imply any responsibility. This depicts a lack of power of Montenegrin institutions<br />
in the best manner.<br />
Public enterprise National Parks<br />
spent without documentation and<br />
without control<br />
The National Audit Institution gave a negative opinion on the finances and audit of regularity of<br />
the annual financial report of the public company, National Parks of Montenegro, for 2014, and<br />
defined that this company presented data through this report that did not match with the real<br />
situation. National Parks of Montenegro showed almost 159,000 euros less cash during 2014<br />
and 1.7 million less capital value. The largest problem was treasury operation, especially in National<br />
Park Durmitor and NP Biogradska Gora, where it was revealed that the Law on Prevention<br />
of Illegal Operations was not respected in specific cases and that the full amount of payments<br />
was not paid via accounts and that there were no internal controls of treasury operations. The<br />
National Audit Institution made a record 50 recommendations in the report to Public Enterprise<br />
National parks, 13 related to income statement, nine on internal control and accountant system,<br />
eight on treasuries, five on employment and procurement, four on balance sheet, and two on financial<br />
reports, business expenses, and trials.<br />
More than 15,000 euros justified by non-fiscal receipts<br />
The national enterprise National Parks justified expenses with non-fiscal receipts: fuel – 4,200 euros,<br />
transportation costs – 2,409 euros, representation costs – 3,837 euros, equipment maintenance –<br />
881 euros, office material – 418 euros, hygiene material – 672 euros. Payments based on non-fiscal<br />
receipts without data on type of goods were 2,822 euros.<br />
