CBA control activities - September 2020
In September 2020, inspections were initiated by three Regional Offices of the Central Anti-Corruption Bureau: in Białystok, Szczecin and Wrocław.
The Central Anti-Corruption Bureau conducts control activities on the basis of annual control plans approved by the Head of the CBA. The Bureau's inspection usually takes 3 months. In particularly substantiated cases, its duration may be extended by the Head of the CBA for a maximum of 6 months. The purpose of the CBA control is to check and juxtapose the existing state of affairs with the required and expected state; to determine the scope and reasons for possible discrepancies, as well as to communicate the results of the findings to both the entity under inspection and the superior entity. As part of its control activities, the Bureau verifies and corrects any irregularities in order to ensure the effectiveness and correctness of the operation of public sector units.
