Sažetak
Higher education represents an activity of a special interest for the Republic of Croatia. Government’ s investment in the higher education, functionally speaking, can be seen as a highly productive consumption because of its direct contribution to the economic growth of the country. Croatia, as a county with the status of the candidate for the joining to the EU, among other areas of adjustment of its laws, is obligated to adjust its higher education to the European standards. One of the fundamental questions, which need to be answered, is the question of assurance of the quality of the higher education. In order to assure the quality of the higher education, it is necessary to undertake the evaluation and the assessment of the higher education institution. Quality decisions are an important precondition in the quality assurance of the higher education institution. Adequate information background is necessary for the decision making process of the higher education institutions. A significant amount of such information is made in the accounting department and it is written in the financial reports. General purpose financial reports are an adequate, but not sufficient background for the performance analysis of the higher education institutions in the Republic of Croatia. It is necessary to define a significant set of performance indicators, alongside with the accounting information in the form of a basic financial report, to make a quality decision in the higher education institutions. Results measurement based on the performance indicators is the only reliable way of distinction between the success and failure. Performance indicators measurement would allow the evaluation of the economy, efficiency and effectiveness of the budget users in the higher education concerning the procedure of supervision and auditing. Performance indicators are significant for successful management in the higher education because they provide quality information useful for the evaluation of the performance in thefields of costs, efficiency and achievements. Experience shows that the thing that can be measured, can also be done. It is necessary to say that all of the mentioned is to be seen in the spirit of the growth of the demands for the satisfaction of the public needs with limited resources which implicates the imperative of economical and rational monitoring and spending of the budget funds.
