Sažetak
After numerous changes in the status of state agencies in Croatia (RC), their number stood at 44 at the beginning of 2014. Most of them (34) were budget users, eight were non-profit organisations financed off the budget and two were companies. The Government has planned to include five out of eight non-profit agencies in the state budget during 2014. But instead of this, it has established two new agencies (the Hydrocarbons Agency and Agency for the Legalisation of Illegally Constructed Buildings). All 44 agencies employ about 6, 000 persons ; their annual budgets amount to over HRK 4bn and their financial assets considerably exceed their liabilities. Regrettably, there is little information on the agencies’ financial operations, particularly as concerns their business performance and service provision efficiency. This is more than enough reason to analyse, based on the available information, and give more attention to their transparency, financial operations and influence on government finances. An analysis of the agencies’ financial operations has been carried out for the period from 2010 to 2012.
