SloveniaThe Slovenian government has established a new advisory group to oversee financial audits at ministries, state services, and state administration bodies. The group will be led by Ivan Simič, a well-known tax expert and former director of the Financial Administration. Suzana Hötzl, who previously faced disciplinary action over a controversial court building procurement case, will serve as his deputy. The group’s role includes advising on audits, monitoring findings, preparing reports, and proposing measures to improve efficiency, economy, transparency, and integrity in state operations. It will not conduct inspections or interfere with the jurisdiction of individual agencies. Additionally, the government has appointed Dušan Šafarič as acting head of the Anti-Money Laundering Office until a permanent director is named.
