The Czech Fiscal Council.
Members, pay and history.

The Czech Fiscal Council.
An independent view of the public accounts.

The Fiscal Council was established under Act No. 23/2017 Coll. It is an independent expert body that does not report to a ministry. Its first members took their oath on 25 January 2018. About the Council ↗ · Start of operations ↗

Responsibilities: Fiscal Council – remit ↗. The Council does not approve the budget or impose fines. Its chair may attend government meetings in an advisory capacity. Fiscal Council powers ↗

Who selects the members?

All three are elected by the Chamber of Deputies. Terms extend beyond a government's electoral term, so a cabinet change does not automatically change the Council. The initial terms were staggered at six, four and two years. Election procedure ↗ · Members' terms ↗
