Funkcjonowanie stadnin koni należących do Skarbu Państwa – gospodarowanie majątkiem oraz sprawowanie nadzoru i kontroli

The importance of horse studs owned by the State Treasury is strategic for the biological progress in the agriculture, with regard to farm animals breeding. Therefore, the lack of in-depth knowledge of the functioning of studs, or the application of principles of state assets management, as well as the results of the reconnaissance audit and parliamentary questions which prove that certain irregularities exist as for the procedures related to privatisation of horse studs companies, made the Supreme Audit Office carry out, on its own initiative, an audit entitled Performance of tasks and financial management of horse studs owned by the State Treasury. The audit examined the performance of tasks related to horse breeding, taking account of the financial and economic situation, and the assets management, as well as supervision and control of the functioning of horse studs in the years 2011–2013. The audit was carried out at the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, the Agricultural Property Agency and nine horse studs and three stallion studs.
