The network between the Slovak and Hungarian local governments as well as between Slovak and Hungarian anti-corruption institutions will be strengthened. Among others the capacity for good governance as well as civic control of the local government spending will be enhanced by providing monitoring tools to citizens and journalists.

ACTIVITY 1: BUILDING ANTI-CORRUPTION CAPACITY IN LOCAL GOVERNMENTS AND BUILDING JOINT NETWORK  OF ANTI-CORRUPTION INSTITUTIONS IN HUNGARY AND SLOVAKIA

• Audits and workshops in local governments

The execution of audits creates tools by which public can do both: to monitor activities of local administration and to analyse them – and, eventually, participate in it. The audit usually consists of three phases and primarily concentrates on 17 municipal policies which were identified as key municipal policies. Within the project, TIS executed audits in two local governments with the following outputs:

• 1. phase of audit in Banská Bystrica: meeting with the representatives of Banska Bystrica, 27.6.2011 in Banska Bystrica; audit report of the city Banská Bystrica in Slovak
• 1. phase of audit in the city part Bratislava-Ružinov: meeting with the representatives of the city part Bratislava-Ružinov, 1.8.2011 in Bratislava-Ružinov; audit report of the city part Bratislava-Ružinov in Slovak
