Notes:
The Hungarian Parliament has no such body. However, it’s worth mentioning two institutions under the Fundamental Law, the State Audit Office and the Fiscal Council.
The State Audit Office is the financial and economic control body of the National Assembly. Within the scope of its statutory functions, the State Audit Office of Hungar y audits the implementation of the central budget, the management of public finances, the use of resources from public finances and the management of national assets.
The Fiscal Council is the body supporting the legislative activity of the National Assembly. The Fiscal Council is composed of three members, the President of the Fiscal Council, the Governor of the Hungarian National Bank and the President of the State Audit Office. The President of the Fiscal Council is supported by a secretariat with a sta ff of 5 (3 perform coordination tasks and 2 work as permanent experts). In addition, other experts are called upon on an ad hoc basis. The Governor of the Hungarian National Bank, as a member of the Council, is assisted by a staff of approximately 10 – 20 in the Public Finance Directorate of the institution. The President of the State Audit Office is assisted by a staff of 8 to 12 in the performance of his duties in the Council.
