Recently, a planned extension of the control authority of the Supreme Audit Office in relation to local government units, and their legal entities, has become a hot topic in the sphere of public administration. This goal was defined in the Government's Policy Statement of the Government of B. Sobotka. It was fulfilled then in the draft amendment to the Constitution of the Czech Republic and in the draft amendment to Act no. 166/1993 Coll., On the Supreme Audit Office, as amended. The proposal has become the subject of intense criticism from municipalities and regions especially considering that it is not based on any thorough analysis of the system of control activities at all levels of government and public administration. The amount and frequency of the various checks carried towards municipalities and regions have been criticized for a long time. Therefore, the proposal to extend the monitoring authority of the Supreme Audit Office has been perceived as an unjustified additional burden and in May 2016 was rejected in the Senate. There will be presented circumstances connected with the discussion of the draft in the present paper. The paper will also summarize the most important objections of municipalities and counties to the draft. The aim of this paper is to highlight the apparent lack of concept and redundancy of the proposed solution.
