Commitment 15: Openness and accountability of state-owned enterprises
An important direction of the LEPL – National Agency of State Property (NASP) represents the management/disposal of state-owned enterprises (SOEs). The major objective of management of enterprises by the State is the effective implementation of the functions important for the State. Also, the State tries to develop business rather than act as its competitor. The NASP continues the policy of minimization in relation to state-owned enterrpises.
Such enterprises provoke a special public interest. Studies published by different organizations speak on lack of transparency of SOEs and on the necessity of introducing information accessibility standards therein. In this respect, of importance is the existence of information concerning the enterprises with 100% state sharing under the management of the NASP. At that, the enterprises were committed to proactively publish reports, including both the financial and conceptual parts.
For the purpose of increasing accountability and corporate responsibility of enterprises, it is important that the Agency would develop a corporate management guide, which will define the general enterprise management principles and directions. It is important that the Agency-developed guide would be based on the best relevant international practice.
