Paragraph 23
 

Under Article 19 of the LFPE in its current form, control of the political entities’ annual financial reports and campaign funding reports (“financial declaration reports of campaign”) is “outsourced” to external auditors. The responsibility for selecting the auditors was shifted in 2013 from the CEC to Parliament/the parliamentary Committee for the Oversight of Public Finances (which failed to engage any auditors during several years). The CEC kept only limited competences such as receiving and publishing financial reports and audit reports.
