Abstract
En la actualidad, la ciudadanía demanda más transparencia en la actuación de los gestores públicos y, por tanto, mayores controles de los que se han venido llevando a cabo. La adecuada gestión de los fondos públicos ha de regir en toda actividad pública. En consecuencia, también en la actuación de los órganos constitucionales y de relevancia constitucional. Los presupuestos de dichos se encuentran integrados en los Presupuestos Generales del Estado, por lo que es necesario establecer los adecuados controles que garanticen, no sólo la debida ejecución presupuestaria, sino que la actuación de estos órganos cumple con los principios constitucionales de equidad, eficiencia y economía, así como de transparencia y legalidad. En este trabajo se realiza un exhaustivo análisis del control externo por el Tribunal de Cuentas, tanto de las cuentas como de la gestión económica de los órganos constitucionales y de relevancia constitucional. No es un análisis meramente descriptivo; sino que ofrece una visión novedosa en el ámbito de la fiscalización de estos órganos, al proponer y estudiar la realización de fiscalizaciones operativas de eficacia, eficiencia y economía, lo que conllevaría una mejora significativa en la gestión de los fondos públicos de estos órganos...
Nowadays, the citizenry demands more transparency in the performance of the public managers, and therefore more checks than the ones kept on them until now. The adequate management of public funds must rule all public activity. Consequently, it must also rule the performance of the constitutional organs and of any organ constitutionally relevant. Their budget is integrated in the General Budget of the Estate, making it necessary to establish the adequate checks to guarantee, not only the due budgetary execution, but also the accordance of the performance of those organs to the constitutional principles of equity, efficiency and economy, as well as transparency and legality. This paper analyses in depth the external check kept by the Court of Audit, both on the accounts and the economic management of the constitutional organs and of any organ constitutionally relevant. It is not a merely descriptive analysis; it offers an original approach to the control over these organs, proposing and examining the implementation of performance audits of efficacy, efficiency and economy, which would imply a significant improvement in the management of the public funds of those organs. The essential aim of this investigation is to prove, in legal terms, that the check function of the Court of Audit should cover the accounts and the economic management of both the constitutional organs and any organ constitutionally relevant. To that effect, it has been of use (i) the application of the constitutional principles that must rule public expenditure: equity, efficiency and economy, stated by the article 31.2 of the Spanish Constitution; the constitutional principle of hierarchy of rules, found in article 9.3 of the constitutional text; and the General Principles of Law; (ii) the application of comparative law; (iii) the analysis of precedent in various aspects; and (iv) the conceptual methodology in outlining the concepts of use to this paper...
