700,000 for a single meeting, auditors wonder about expenses at the Academy of Sciences
The Academy of Sciences is fundamentally violating the Public Procurement Act, an internal audit has found. It also pointed to the opaque transfer of money in the scientific institution. Specifically, the audit looked into business relations between the Academy of Sciences (AS) and its subordinate Centre for Joint Activities (CJA), which serves as a support and service organisation to its parent “headquarters”. The auditors examined the services provided by the Centre to the Academy of Sciences, which are also subsidised by the State budget. The contracts from the Vinohrady company Elseya, which supplies audiovisual equipment and services to the Centre, came under scrutiny.
