Court of Audit head Dimitar Glavchev told parliament's anti-corruption committee that everything is done. He said the court has done all it can to hand over its work, assets, documents, data files and staff to the new anti-corruption commission (KPK) on time, the court's press office said. Since February 2026, it has received 671 reports of a suspected conflict of interest.

The hearing looked at how ready the court is to pass its assets and work to the newly formed KPK. Three directorates came to the Court of Audit from the old KPK, which was closed: "Corruption Prevention", "Conflict of Interest" and "Public Register".

The court first decides whether it can examine a report. It accepts a report only if the sender is not anonymous. The report must also give specific details about the sender, about the public official it targets, and about the powers the official used for a private interest. The court does not open a case if the report is anonymous or if the named sender denies sending it. The same applies if the person does not hold a public post. It also does not open a case if the report has errors that were not fixed, such as a lack of specific details of a conflict of interest as the law defines it.

The court has made 645 decisions on whether reports can be examined. It opened conflict-of-interest cases on 114 reports. In 460 cases there were no grounds for a case. In 65 it opened only checks on whether the official held incompatible posts. The court sent another 118 reports to other bodies that deal with them.

In the second stage, the court gathers evidence and establishes the facts, and the person under check has a right to defend themselves. The court then issues a reasoned decision on whether there is a conflict of interest. It has made 41 decisions at this stage. It found a conflict in 5 cases and none in 32. It found no incompatibility in 14. In one case there was no evidence of either offence.

Penalties for proven conflicts total €21,241: fines of €15,000 and confiscations of €6,241. The court is represented in 24 court cases. The Supreme Administrative Court upheld 7 decisions that found a conflict. The Commission for Illegal Asset Forfeiture has been notified about these cases and will check them under the Illegal Asset Forfeiture Act.

In rulings that have taken effect, courts have awarded the Court of Audit €56,557. People have paid €32,154 in fines and confiscations, and the National Revenue Agency (NAP) has collected €4,803 by force.

Since February, the court has reviewed 71 draft laws. In 11 of them it found signs of corruption risk and made comments and proposals to change the texts. Among the weak points in the laws are gaps that lead to conflicting use and interpretation. Others are that EU directives are not fully matched with national law, and that the laws do not separate fines for individuals from property penalties for companies and sole traders.

The court also analysed the 2026 anti-corruption plans of ministries and other budget holders. They contain 629 measures and 535 specifically identified corruption risks. Only 25 of the measures do not meet the requirements of the National Council on Anti-Corruption Policies.

In the campaigns to collect asset declarations, the Court of Audit processed about 16,600 declarations filed on taking up a post, yearly and at the end of a term. In August it published nearly 14,800 yearly declarations, more than 1,400 filed on taking up a post and more than 1,300 final ones. It also published lists of those who did not file or filed late. The check of declarations on taking up a post and final declarations filed in 2024 is complete. It covered more than 4,000 people, and 558 of them have mismatches.

The check of yearly declarations for 2024 continues and covers more than 18,000 people. People with mismatches get a notice and have 14 days to fix them. In some cases the Commission for Illegal Asset Forfeiture and the National Revenue Agency have been told.

On 28 January, the previous parliament passed the changes to the Court of Audit Act in a second reading. They closed the Anti-Corruption Commission, and its duties passed to the Interior Ministry's Chief Directorate "Combating Organised Crime" and to the Court of Audit. At the end of May, parliament also passed the Act on Countering Corruption among Persons Holding Public Posts in a second reading. Under it, parliament elects one member of the new KPK and the president appoints one. The Supreme Court of Cassation, the Supreme Administrative Court and the Supreme Bar Council each elect one.

The new KPK's members must be chosen within one month of the law taking effect.
