State Audit Office begins examining funding of Armaz Akhvlediani's political school
The Financial Transparency Department of the State Audit Office has initiated monitoring regarding the Tbilisi School of Political Studies.
The State Audit Office confirmed this to InterPressNews.
According to the agency, the monitoring was launched due to the alleged receipt of a grant by the non-commercial legal entity "Tbilisi School of Political Studies" without the consent of the Government of Georgia.
"To thoroughly examine the matter, the State Audit Office will act within the scope of authority provided by Georgian legislation, including the Law of Georgia 'On Grants'," the Audit Office stated.
The Tbilisi School of Political Studies was established as a non-governmental organization in 1999. The school operates under the auspices of the Council of Europe. Politician Armaz Akhvlediani heads the Tbilisi School of Political Studies.
