We are deeply saddened to announce that a Member of the Board of the Supreme Audit Office(SAO), Roman Procházka, has suddenly passed away at the age of fifty-five

During his six-year tenure at the SAO, he conducted fourteen audits. He dealt with a wide range of topics, from the management of state funds in libraries or the Prison Service, to computerisation at the Ministry of Justice, to the state’s preparedness for disasters. His last closed audit, which we published two months ago, concerned funds for the construction of the D4 motorway (LINK).

He started his career in 1991 at the District Office in Cheb, where he dealt with state conservation of monuments.
