As part of the planned audit, the Chancellery of the Prime Minister checked and assessed the management of the Energy Regulatory Office and found numerous errors in the management of this institution. As it was stated, the office management did not have effective tools to assess the institutional capacity of the unit, and the undertaken activities did not provide effective support for managing the ERO’s needs.
The audit concerned some aspects of the office’s functioning in 2018-2020: organizational structure, human resources and civil law contracts. Errors were found in all of these areas, which were found on over 30 pages of the speech signed by the head of the Chancellery of the Prime Minister, Michał Dworczyk.
According to the statement, the ERO agreed its budget with the Ministry of Finance, without preceding it with detailed and documented analyzes of expenditure. He also did not have comprehensive information on how much employment should be increased in individual organizational units in order to carry out tasks effectively.
As confirmed by the Government Information Center, the President of the ERO informed the Chancellery of the Prime Minister about the undertaken and planned actions to implement the post-inspection recommendations and referred in detail to the post-inspection recommendations and indicated areas and procedures that will contribute to the improvement of the unit’s functioning.
