Audit of the construction of the railway line Zalalv Bajnsenye- Hodo Murska Sobota

Report ID: 80

Since the two countries adopted an agreement on co-operation when planning and realizing the investment, the supreme audit institutions decided to carry out a parallel audit of the investment. The audit on construction of Hungarian part of the railway was carried out in 2001 by the State Audit Office of Hungary (herein after referred to as SAO).

The audit on construction of Slovene part of the railway was carried out by Court of Audit of the Republic of Slovenia (herein after referred to as Court of Audit). Both supreme audit institutions reviewed apart from regularity of planning the in-vestment public procurement process and financing the investment, also the ecological aspect of railway construction and other impacts of the investment.

The joint report will present the activities referred to railway construction undertaken by both countries and it will show some comparable audit results (data on railway construction costs and the answer to the question: which country was more cost efficient), and present an assessment of effectiveness of the investment referred to achievement of planned objectives.
