| Comments | Between the years 2016 and 2018, the Supreme Audit Office (SAO) scrutinised the protection of museum collections owned by the state. The auditors found that the management and registers of the collections were fragmented, the data on items differed and the rules were only general. However, this system was intended to ensure that the collections were properly cared for and that the state had a clear overview of the state of the collection. The managers of the collections, such as museums and galleries, erred in the register of collection items and did not look into the matter of who bears responsibility for collection items that were not traced during stock-taking. Moreover, the Ministry of Culture (MoC) did not check the collection managers often enough. |
