The Court of Accounts' audit report on the Ministry of Youth and Sports drew attention to the ambiguity of criteria regarding athlete achievement awards and the failure to apply administrative penalties to sports clubs acting contrary to legislation.

Ambiguity in Award Criteria

The Court of Accounts pointed out in the Ministry of Youth and Sports audit report that the legislation regarding achievement awards given to athletes needs to be revised.

Financial Burden and Legal Issues

It was determined that the lack of sufficient clarity in award criteria under current regulations leads to legal disputes and additional financial obligations for the public sector.

Regulation Amendment Proposal

The Court of Accounts recommended making amendments to the Regulation on Rewarding Those Showing Outstanding Success in Sports Services and Activities.

Financial Status of Clubs

The audit report addressed the debts of sports clubs to the Ministry of Youth and Sports, stating that their operational capacities have weakened.

Unapplied Administrative Penalties

Although it was determined that thousands of clubs did not submit declarations and did not hold general assemblies, it was reflected in the report that the envisioned administrative fines were not applied.
