The Role of Supreme Audit Institution in Efficient and Effective Public Construction Projects

Abstract

Public construction has always been of serious concern of the people. In old days, it was a symbol of severe exploitation and pitiless coerction.From the time history began, or even from prehistoric days rulers of society were never reluctant to abuse their power to build palace, to nbs, colosseums and the like. Except for some are case such as construction of river banks to protect cultivated land from the disaster of flood, people never expected any benefit from public construction. After democratic political system emerged in the history of human-beings, people's attitude toward public construction began to slowly change. Public construction has been justified only when its output is believed to be beneficial to the people. However, there has been controversy over the way public money is manged for construction work. People have suspected that there may be embezzlement and peculation of public money. And this suspicion has neccessitated supreme audit institution to perform legality audit on financial management of construction work.
