28- FINANCIAL CONTROL



para.jpg

The Draft Law on Public Financial Management and Control prepared by Ministry of Finance in order to establish a public internal control system which is compatible with the European Union (EU) and international standards, was submitted to the Turkish Grand National Assembly (TGNA) on August 3 2002 during the 57th cabinet period. However, it became obsolete during the election process. Works on the Draft, which is listed among the first six months’ measures of 58th Government’s Urgent Action Plan, continue. It is envisaged that the Draft will be resubmitted to the Turkish Grand National Assembly (TGNA) in 2003.
The aforementioned Draft Law aims to enhance transparency and accountability in public financial management, to ensure the compatibility of the systems of ex-ante control, ex-post internal audit and external audit with the EU standards, and to extend the initiatives of the spending institutions over ex-ante control and ex-post internal audit
The Public Procurement System was rearranged by taking into consideration the norms of the international organisations of which Turkey is a member, and problems confronted in the implementation of the Law No.2886, in addition to the consideration of harmonization with the EU acquis. Public Procurement Law No.4734 and the Public Procurement Contracts Law, which were prepared for this purpose, were adopted on January 4 2002 and January 5 2002. Both of the laws entered into force on 1 January 2003.

PRIORITY 28.2 Strengthening administrative capacity in order to prevent the irregularities and corruption which may negatively effect pre-accession aid
1- Priority Description
Strengthening administrative capacity in order to prevent the irregularities and corruption, which may negatively affect the pre- accession aid is fulfilled with the mechanisms established under the Decentralized Implementation System relevant to the utilization of pre-accession aid. Within this framework, necessary regulations regarding the new Decentralized Implementation System that enables utilization of the pre-accession aid through projects in line with the Accession Partnership Document and the National Program’s priorities were established with Prime Minister’s Circular No.2001/41 dated July 18 2001. Afterwards, the Memorandum of Understanding for the establishment of the Central Finance and Contracts Unit (CFCU) and the Memorandum of Understanding for the establishment of National Fund were signed in February 14 2002 between Turkish Government and European Commission. The approval of the said Memoranda of Understanding was endorsed with Law No.4802 in January 30 2003 and they were approved in February 24 2003 by the Council of Ministers. Based on these Memorandum of Understanding the Turkish Government established the Central Finance and Contracts Unit and the National Fund within the framework of Decentralized Implementation System. According to these Memoranda of Understanding (MoU’s) it is foreseen that procedures under these MoU’s will be audited by the Court of Accounts, Treasury Controllers or another auditor to be determined by the Commission. The Internal Audit Manual to be used in the audit of the National Fund and the Central Finance and Contracts Unit is prepared by European Commission experts and the Undersecretariat of Treasury and it was approved by National Authorising Officer (NAO). In addition, necessary measures to strengthen the administrative capacity of the Board of Treasury Controllers (training and consultancy) will be taken to ensure audit of pre-accession aid in line with EU standards. The Turkish Government applied officially for accreditation to the EU in April 9 2003. The result of the process of evaluation for accreditation is awaited.

29- FINANCIAL AND BUDGETARY PROVISIONS
Information regarding the laws promulgated to ensure compatibility with the European Union (EU) budget legislation since the publication of the Turkish National Program for the Adoption of the EU Acquis on 24 March 2001 is given below:
Public Finance and Debt Management Law No.4749 dated 28 March 2002 was enacted in order to discipline public debt policy.
It was foreseen not to assign tasks to public banks without a budget allocation via an amendment in the “Law Regarding Amendments in Certain Laws and Decree Laws” No.4684 dated 20 June 2001 and “Law on Turkish Republic Ziraat Bank, Turkish Halk Bank Corporation and Turkish Emlak Bank Corporation” No.4603. Through this amendment an important step was taken to ensure the transparency of the budget process.
With “Law Regarding Amendments in Certain Laws and in Decree Laws” No.4684 dated 20 June 2001 and with another piece of legislation (Council of Minister’s Decision No. 2698 dated 3 July 2001 and Prime Minister’s Approval No.817 dated 17 May 2001), the process of closing the funds continues. As of 1 January 2002, significant progress has been achieved towards extending the budgetary scope and increasing financial transparency as all funds were closed by this date, with the exception of six, of which one is budgetary and five are extra-budgetary.
The Draft Law prepared by Ministry of Finance was submitted to the Turkish Grand National Assembly (TGNA) on August 3 2002 during the 57th cabinet period. However, it became obsolete during the election process. Work continues on the Draft, which is listed among the first six months’ measures of 58th Government’s Urgent Action Plan. It is envisaged that the Draft will be resubmitted to the Turkish Grand National Assembly (TGNA) in 2003.

II-MEASURES FOR HARMONISATION WITH THE EU LEGISLATION AND IMPLEMENTATION
PRIORITY 29.1 Adoption of Decentralized Implementation System for the management of pre-accession funds
1- Priority Description
The establishment of Decentralized Implementation System for the management of the Community’s pre-accession funds is among the short-term priorities of the Council Decision of 19 May 2003 on the Accession Partnership with the Republic of Turkey.
In addition, in the Pre-accession Strategy for Turkey prepared by the EU, Turkey was asked to establish the necessary administrative structures in order to utilize financial assistance in the framework of the Decentralized Implementation System, which is also implemented by other candidate countries. Accordingly, Decentralised Implementation System, which exists in other candidate countries, should be established and made operational in Turkey.
Necessary regulations regarding the new Decentralized Implementation System that enables utilisation of financial assistance provided by the EU, through projects in line with the priorities mentioned in the Council Decision of 19 May 2003 on the Accession Partnership with the Republic of Turkey and the 2001 National Programme for the Adoption of Acquis Communautaire, were realised with Prime Minister’s Circular No.2001/41 dated 18 July 2001. With respect to the provisions of the Circular, which foresee implementation and auditing of the different stages of financial cooperation by different units and persons, the Decentralized Implementation System consists of the National Aid Coordinator, the Financial Cooperation Committee, the National Fund, the National Authorizing Officer, the Joint Monitoring Committee and Central Finance and the Contracts Unit.
The Circular assigns general coordination of EU financial assistance, selection of the projects within the framework of priorities, carrying out preparatory work, and monitoring and evaluation of projects, to the Minister of State and Deputy Prime Minister responsible for EU affairs, who acts as National Aid Coordinator.
The National Fund (NF) created and managed by the Undersecretariat of the Treasury will collect financial assistance provided by the EU. The Minister of State responsible for economic affairs is designated as National Authorizing Officer (NAO) in order to manage the National Fund and to ensure utilization of this resource for the implementation of the projects.
The Central Finance and Contracts Unit (CFCU) and the Program Authorizing Officer (PAO), which are the most important elements of the Decentralized Implementation System, are responsible for the budgeting of tenders regarding service, supply and building, call for tenders, contract preparation, making payments, and keeping accounting records and financial reporting.
Memorandum of Understanding for the establishment of the Central Finance and Contracts Unit (CFCU) and Memorandum of Understanding for the establishment of National Fund were signed on 14 February 2002 between the Turkish Government and European Commission. The approval of the said memoranda was endorsed with Law No. 4802 of 30 January 2003 and approved on 24 February 2003 by the Council of Ministers. Based on these memoranda of understanding, the Turkish Government has established the necessary administrative structures (National Fund and Central Finance and Contracts Unit). In the same way, the Board of Treasury Controllers prepared audit manuals for the audit of EU funds. The Turkish Government applied officially to the EU for accreditation on April 9 2003. The result of the process of evaluation for accreditation is awaited.
In addition, the Framework Agreement that determines the general framework for the financial cooperation between Turkey and the EU is at the signature stage and it has a great importance for the implementation of financial cooperation. A law on the personnel of the Central Finance and Contracts Unit (CFCU), which defines statute, cadre and employee rights, will be enacted by the TGNA by the end of 2003.

PRIORITY 29.2. Implementation of the new budget code structure published by Ministry of Finance including budgetary, extra-budgetary, and revolving funds by the Ministry of Finance for all public institutions for the 2004 budget
1-Priority Description
The fact that the budget in Turkey is not based on a functional classification weakens the expected operation of the budget. This deficiency prevents carrying out cost-benefit analysis, limits decision makers’ decision making skills, and creates an obstacle for the connection between policies and budgets. Therefore, a new budget code structure, for which the current administrative and technical infrastructure has been substantially completed, is expected to be implemented immediately in all areas of public administration.
Through the 2003 Financial Year Budget Law, the authority to determine analytical budget classification (new budget code structure), accounting system and standards which will be implemented in all areas of public administration involved in the definition of general administration was delegated to the Ministry of Finance. Through the Draft Law on Public Financial Management and Control, budget and accounting standards that will be implemented in all areas of public administration involved in the definition of general administration are determined by Ministry of Finance and Turkish Accounting Standards Board. Pilot implementations regarding the new budget code structure were launched in some municipalities and social security institutions in 2003. Analytical budget classification will be implemented fully in general and annexed budget administrations from January 1 2004 onwards, in local administrations, social security institutions, Boards and Supervisory Boards which are public entities, funds, institutions and administrations which receive assistance from investment and transfer parts of the budget from January 1 2005 onwards, and in institutions with revolving funds and other institutions and administrations (except for State Economic Enterprises) from January 1 2006 onwards.
