The draft amendments attribute the supervision of political financing in Georgia to a specialised body: the Chamber of Control of Georgia, the supreme public auditing institution (new Article 34). According to Article 97 of the Constitution of Georgia and Article 3 of the Law on the Chamber of Control, this body is the supreme state financial control institution which enjoys departmental, financial, functional and organisational independence. The Chamber of Control is entitled to monitor the legality and transparency of financial activities of political parties. The relevant draft amendment enumerates the powers of the Chamber of Control. Removing such activities from the mandate of the Central Election Commission (“CEC”) is intended to make oversight of party finances more effective.
