Maintenance Inspections Conducted by State Bodies
The state auditing procedure is notable for giving
rise to challenging problems and situations.
GRATA has successfully represented the interests of its clients in the
following scenarios:
- appeals
against the results of state audits (in a higher instance);
- disputes
with state authorities (in court);
- appeals
against the administrative acts of state authorities.
