Thus, formally, we can state that this measure was implemented in the forth quartal of 2023. At the same time, having analysed the information published on the Unified Web Portal on the Spending of Public Funds, it can be stated that in some cases the information is published in violation of the deadlines set out in the Law of Ukraine On the Openness of Spending of Public Fund. For example, the report on the number and amount of business travel expenses for the first quarter of 2023, as well as a similar report for the second quarter, were published only on August 16, 2023, in violation of the 35-day deadline for their publication. Thus, we would like to draw the attention of the State Agency for Restoration and Infrastructure Development of Ukraine to the need to strictly comply with the deadlines for publishing the mentioned information provided for by the current legislation.
