Abstract
Public administration, when brought to the environments and spaces of executive functions and regulatory actions, has much in common with control procedures, which in the general sense should be noted as administrative activities. audit This is explained by the fact that it is such procedures that are diversified during the inspection and monitoring of the activities of state institutions and structural units. And as the Swedish experience shows, due to the administrative activities audit, initiatives, intentions, and measures implemented by the public service and bypassing subordinate structures, budgetary institutions, municipalities, public organizations, and other centers acquire significantly higher quality features. This is the purpose of the article, which describes the special importance of the administrative activities audit in public administration as combined by perfect features of control procedures and a combination of advanced approaches, which highlights the Swedish experience. And accordingly, the following methods were used: decomposition – to clarify in a single understanding the approaches to the administrative activities audit that were formed and took place during the implementation of control procedures, inspections and observations at the state level in Sweden; logical generalization – which considers the areas of activity, objects and social relationships subject to audit, by organizations, institutions, other structures that are assigned tasks, orders from the civil service, accompanied by measures, aspirations and initiatives; abstraction, which consists in highlighting and clarifying specific provisions and issues regarding the conduct of audits at the state level, along with providing recommendations to institutions and structures. Since this is what constitutes the perfect development of public administration, where the administrative activities audit occupies a prominent place and is of great importance due to the identification of the volumes, processes and directions of targeted use of resources and financing by target guidelines and consideration of potential opportunities in specific objects and phenomena, along with the implementation of improving measures and improvements. And then the Swedish experience in implementing the administrative activities audit in the state-owned environment should be considered an existing basis for implementing reforms and transformations at the state level, which has absorbed significant achievements and priorities for overall development and well-being.
