teChnologIeS In the Court of aCCountS –<br />
an opportunity to increase business efficiency and a step<br />
towards its transformation into a mo<strong>de</strong>rn audit institution<br />
Court of Accounts comprises the human and material assets that<br />
are oriented toward achieving a set of business processes that must<br />
correspond to all its activities . Mo<strong>de</strong>rn technologies come to facilitate<br />
internal and external management, to automate as many processes<br />
as possible and provi<strong>de</strong> safe and effective tools for employees . Thus,<br />
upon the approval of the Strategic Development Plan, the CoA has<br />
recognized and acknowledged the importance and necessity of information<br />
technologies in all its areas of activity . Due to international<br />
consultancy and following a thorough feasibility study, target areas<br />
have been prioritized and selected for implementation of information<br />
technologies . Thus the main objectives have been set:<br />
1 . Each employee must have his /her own computer with access<br />
to internet, email, standard office programs, and other basic<br />
facilities and be trained to use available information technologies<br />
.<br />
2 . Auditors should be given a more complete set of data relevant<br />
to their work .<br />
3 . Auditors must be equipped with mo<strong>de</strong>rn instruments for<br />
analysis of financial data from entities .<br />
4 . The whole audit process has to be automated, along with<br />
documentation and historisation of all steps and activities .<br />
5 . Recording of working time and calculation of the cost of activities<br />
require automation .<br />
6 . A mo<strong>de</strong>rn system for human resource management should<br />
be implemented .<br />
To streamline the implementation and save funds, several areas of<br />
automation have been merged . Therefore:<br />
automation of the audit process will be performed based on a<br />
standard system for automation of electronic document flow<br />
and will cover secretariat processes as well .<br />
due to the low level of automation of the business of key spen<strong>de</strong>rs<br />
of state budget and institutions audited by the CoA, we<br />
have given up the i<strong>de</strong>a of creating a complex database for storing<br />
and analyzing data nee<strong>de</strong>d for audit . Thus, it was <strong>de</strong>ci<strong>de</strong>d to<br />
implement a universal instrument, flexible and easily adaptable<br />
to cope with changing conditions and standards .<br />
On February 5, <strong>2010</strong>, the ten<strong>de</strong>rs for buying the “Integrated solution<br />
of information and communication technologies for the CoA”<br />
were opened . The <strong>de</strong>tailed results of the evaluation of bids from all<br />
participants in this ten<strong>de</strong>r were sent to the World Bank for review and<br />
acceptance . On 6 May <strong>2010</strong>, the no objection was received for the<br />
evaluation report and for the conclusion of the contract with the winner<br />
company . On June 2, <strong>2010</strong>, the contract was signed with the winning<br />
company for the <strong>de</strong>livery of «Integrated solution of information<br />
