Law No. 54 of 1964 regulated the technical supervisory competence of the Administrative Control Authority; and its elements included researching and investigating the reasons for drawbacks in work and production, including the detection of defects in administrative, technical and financial systems, which impede the regular functioning of public bodies as well as proposing the means of preventing them. They also include following up the enforcement of laws and ensuring that the decisions, regulations and laws in force are adequate as well as detecting the administrative and financial irregularities and criminal offences committed by employees in the course of performing their duties or because of them. Add to these matters the detection and identification of the offences committed by non-civil-servants, aiming to impair the performance of job or public service duties as per the related regulating legal and procedural controls. More competences include investigating complaints and the issues discussed by the media concerning the Authority’s work as well as providing the legally designated bodies with data, information and studies.
