Czech Supreme Audit Office finds accounting errors at Labor Office and DIA

The Supreme Audit Office (NKÚ) has identified significant accounting deficiencies and weaknesses in the internal control systems of the Czech Labor Office and the Digital Information Agency (DIA).

Regarding the Labor Office, auditors found errors in accounting and state property management. The NKÚ noted that the agency failed to correctly implement several measures from a 2014 audit. Specifically, the NKÚ stated, “Thorough implementation of all measures in 2015 could have prevented accounting corrections amounting to 292.3 million CZK, which the Labor Office only performed in 2025.” While some issues were resolved by implementing a new system for reporting EU funds, the internal control system is not considered fully effective.

The Digital Information Agency also faced scrutiny. Auditors found that the DIA incorrectly reported 106 million CZK in long-term intangible assets as unfinished, despite the assets already being in use. This error significantly impacted the agency's financial statements, rendering that specific data unreliable. While the DIA corrected other errors related to expenditure classification and investment transfers, the NKÚ concluded that its internal control system for recording intangible assets remains ineffective due to poor information transfer between departments and insufficient inventory processes.
