Moldova’s Public Finance Committee Presents Its First Activity Report

A new format for parliamentary reporting, presented by the Committee on Public Finance Oversight

For the first time, the Parliamentary Committee on Public Finance Oversight has presented its own activity report, in a format that marks a departure from the usual practice of collaboration with the Court of Auditors. The review of the committee’s first year of work in the new parliamentary term was discussed at a meeting attended by representatives of parliamentary groups, public institutions and the expert community.

The President of the Court of Auditors, Tatiana Șevciuc, noted the unusual nature of the event, emphasising that, traditionally, it is the Court of Auditors that presents reports to the parliamentary committee, and not the other way round.

“One’s perspective depends on one’s position,” remarked Tatiana Șevciuc.

The committee chair, Adrian Lebedinschi, in turn, highlighted the increase in the level of implementation of the Court of Auditors’ recommendations.

According to the institution’s data, following the audits carried out in 2025, actual financial recoveries amounted to approximately 4 million lei.

In an interview with Logos Press, Adrian Lebedinschi drew attention to the fact that the irregularities identified in various areas often have a common cause: deficiencies in the internal control system and a lack of clearly defined managerial accountability.

“If I look at the reports as a whole that we have examined this year, I would not identify a single problem. Procurement, pay, assets or state-owned enterprises are often different manifestations of a deeper vulnerability: insufficient internal control and managerial accountability that is not clear enough,” said Adrian Lebedinschi.

The full interview with Adrian Lebedinschi, Chair of the Committee on Public Finance Control, will be published by Logos Press.

It is worth noting that this is the youngest standing parliamentary committee. It was established on the recommendation of the European Union in 2019 and effectively began its work in 2020. As a rule, the committee is chaired by a representative of the parliamentary opposition.
