Currently, the State Audit Office law stipulates that the State Audit Office does not audit the Saeima. Progressives wanted this provision to be deleted, thus allowing for a related regulation in the Rules of Procedure of the Saeima, which would give the State Audit Office the right to conduct audits in Parliament.
According to the law, all state and local governments, their capital companies and other audited entities are subject to audits by the State Audit Office, with an exception only for the Saeima. "However, the Saeima, although hierarchically higher, is also systemically united in the system of state management. The existing exception has no justification and contradicts the principle of good governance," the Progressives argue.
The proposal to amend the Law on the State Audit Office was submitted by Progressive MPs Jana Simanovska, Ervins Labanovskis, Skaidrīte Ābrama, Edmunds Cepurītis and Leila Rasima. However, the proposal was rejected by the Saeima.
