Indtil udgangen af 2003 var jeg ansvarlig for regeringens interne revisionstjeneste gennem finansforvaltningens interne revisionsdirektorat.
Up to the end of 2003, I was responsible for the internal audit service of the Government through the Internal Audit Directorate of the Treasury.
I den egenskab har jeg været ansvarlig for udarbejdelsen af den interne revisionsmanual og det interne revisionscharter og for udarbejdelsen af den relevante lovgivning med henblik på etablering af en funktionsmæssig uafhængig intern revisionstjeneste, der har fungeret siden udgangen af 2003.
In this capacity, I was responsible for the preparation of the Internal Audit Manual and the Internal Audit Charter and for the drafting of the relevant law for the establishment of a functionally independent Internal Audit Service which operates as from the end of 2003.
I overensstemmelse med ministerrådets afgørelse har jeg fortsat beskæftiget mig med den interne revision som medlem af regeringens råd for intern revision.
My involvement with internal audit continues, by Council of Ministers’ decision, through my post as a member of the Internal Audit Board of the Government.
I løbet af årene 2005 og 2006 tog republikkens finansforvaltning med henblik på at forbedre det offentlige interne finanskontrolsystem (PIFC) i overensstemmelse med bedste europæiske praksis initiativ til at gennemføre en peer review.
During the years 2005 and 2006, in order to improve the Public Internal Financial Control (PIFC) system in line with European best practice, the Treasury of the Republic took the initiative to conduct a peer review.
Under min vejledning og i samarbejde med nøgleaktører, samarbejdede finansforvaltningen med et OECD-SIGMA peer review-hold af højtstående uafhængige eksperter fra andre EU-medlemsstater.
Under my guidance and in collaboration with key stakeholders, the Treasury cooperated with an OECD-SIGMA peer review team of senior independent expert practitioners from other EU Member States.
Anbefalingerne i denne peer review fik politisk godkendelse og støtte fra regeringen og er ved at blive gennemført i en langsigtet strategisk plan under min vejledning, koordinering og overvågning.
The recommendations of the peer review obtained political consent and support by the Government and are being effected in a long-term strategic plan under my guidance, coordination and supervision.
I min personlige egenskab blev jeg i 2004 valgt af medlemmerne af Association of Chartered Certified Accountants til ACCA-Rådet, der består af 36 medlemmer, og genvalgt i 2007 til en anden treårsperiode.
In my personal capacity, I was elected in May 2004 by the international membership of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) to the 36-member Council of ACCA and I was re-elected in May 2007 for a second three-year term.

I have served on ACCA Council Committees as follows: Audit Committee – May 2005 to May 2009, Finance Committee – May 2006 to present, Public Sector Technical Committee – May 2008 (when the committee was established) to present.
Jeg er for øjeblikket kandidat til genvalg til ACCA-Rådet for en tredje og sidste periode.
I am currently a candidate for re-election to ACCA Council for a third and final three-year term.
Valgresultatet vil blive offentliggjort på den årlige generalforsamling den 16. september 2010.
The election results will be announced at the AGM on 16 September 2010.
I løbet af min professionelle karriere har jeg deltaget i mange vigtige afgørelser (både i min egenskab af ledende regnskabsfører og formand for beslutningstagende udvalg og bestyrelser), som har haft afgørende indflydelse på public service i Cypern.
During my professional career, I have been party to many important decisions (both in my capacity as Accountant General and as Chairman of decision making statutory Committees/Boards) that had a significant impact on the provision of public services in Cyprus.
Jeg skal fremhæve dem, jeg anser for at være mine vigtigste bidrag under følgende overskrifter:
I would highlight what I consider to be my most significant contributions under the following three headings:
(a) indførelse af it-systemer som værktøjer for en effektiv drift af finansforvaltningsfunktionerne
a) Introduction of information systems as tools for the effective operation of the Treasury’s functions
I januar 2004 indførte Cypern det integrerede finans- og forvaltningsinformationssystem (IFMIS), der satte alle regnskabsfunktioner, der behandles i hele den offentlige sektor, på edb og automatiserede de offentlige betalingsprocesser.
In January 2004, the Treasury of the Republic introduced the Integrated Financial and Management Information System (IFMIS) that computerised all the accounting functions processed throughout the public sector and has automated the Government payment process.
For at være proaktive er der på nuværende tidspunkt truffet yderligere foranstaltninger til at integrere alle offentlige finansielle forvaltningsaktiviteter i et nyt virksomhedssystem (ERP System), som overtager på en mere omfattende og tidssvarende måde.
Being proactive, a further step is currently underway, to integrate all financial management activities of the Government into a new Enterprise Resource Planning System (ERP System) that will take over in a more comprehensive and contemporary manner.
Projektet er nu ved at være afsluttet, for så vidt angår krav i forbindelse med indkøb og gennemførelse via et offentligt udbud.
The Project is currently at the stage of finalisation of the requirements for its acquisition and implementation through a public tender competition.
I januar 2007 indledte finansforvaltningen, der er den kompetente myndighed for offentlige indkøb i Cypern, et større projekt for udvikling og gennemførelse af et elektronisk system for offentlige indkøb.
In January 2007, the Treasury of the Republic, Competent Authority on Public Procurement in Cyprus, initiated a major project for the development and implementation of an electronic procurement system.
Projektet blev afsluttet, i samarbejde med de vigtigste aktører, inden for de oprindelige budget- og tidsrammer.
The Project was completed, in collaboration with key stakeholders, within the original budget and timeframe.
Fra november 2009 har det elektroniske indkøbssystem kunnet anvendes af alle kontraherende myndigheder i Cypern og af alle økonomiske aktører på internationalt plan.
As from November 2009, the electronic procurement system is available for use by all Contracting Authorities in Cyprus and by all Economic Operators internationally.
Gennemførelsen af e-indkøbssystemet i Cypern og den måde, finansforvaltningen styrer driften på, er blevet anerkendt på EU-plan, og har ifølge den 8. benchmark-evaluering af e-government, indtaget en førende rolle blandt EU-medlemsstaterne inden for dette område.
The implementation of the Cyprus e-procurement system and the way the Treasury is managing its operation, has been recognised at EU level and has put Cyprus, according to the 8 th e-Government Benchmark Measurement, in a leading position amongst the EU Member States in the field of pre-award procurement.
(b) decentralisering af tildelingsproceduren i forbindelse med offentlige indkøb
b) Decentralisation of the public tenders award procedures
Ved en relevant lov blev de offentlige udbudsprocedurer centraliseret frem til marts 2004 for tildelinger over en vis tærskel inden for det centrale udbudsudvalg (CTB).
By a relevant law, the public tenders award procedures were centralised up to March 2004 with the authority for awards above a certain threshold being vested on the Central Tender Board (CTB).
Ved samme lov blev den ledende regnskabsfører udnævnt til formand for CTB.
By the same law, the Accountant General was the Chairman of the CTB.
Det nationale revisionsorgan blev repræsenteret i CTB ved en ikke-stemmeberettiget repræsentant med ret til at afgive en ikke-bindende udtalelse og få denne optaget i protokollen.
The National Audit Institution was represented on the CTB by a non-voting representative, with the right to express a non-binding opinion and have it recorded in the minutes.
I en særlig rapport i 2003, baseret på min erfaring som formand for CTB, der forudser udfordringerne inden for offentlige indkøb i lyset af Cyperns tiltrædelse af Den Europæiske Union og af hensyn til øget ansvarlighed, effektivitet og gennemsigtighed, og med støtte fra centrale aktører, henstillede jeg til regeringen at decentraliser de offentlige udbudsprocedurer.
In a special report in 2003, based on my experience as Chairman of the CTB, foreseeing the challenges in the field of Public Procurement in view of the accession of Cyprus to the European Union and for reasons of enhancing accountability, efficiency and transparency, having obtained the support of key stakeholders, I recommended to the Government the decentralisation of the public tenders award procedures.
Regeringen godkendte henstillingen, der førte til vedtagelsen af nye love og regler, udarbejdet af finansforvaltningen, hvorved tildelingsprocedurerne blev overdraget til udbudsudvalgene i de ministerier/departementer/tjenestegrene, der forestod indkøbene.
The Government approved the recommendation which led to the enactment of new laws and regulations, drafted by the Treasury, vesting the award procedures on the Tender Boards of the procuring Ministries/Departments/Services.
Ved samme love og bestemmelser indtog finansforvaltningen gennem direktoratet for offentlige indkøb en målrettet strategisk rolle i fastsættelsen af politikker og kontrol, som den udpegede kompetente myndighed for offentlige indkøb i Cypern.
By the same laws and regulations, the Treasury of the Republic, through the Public Procurement Directorate, assumed the targeted strategic role in policy setting and control, as the designated Competent Authority on Public Procurement in Cyprus.
Mit ansvar i denne egenskab omfatter retten til, sammen med det nationale revisionsorgan, at have en observatør, der deltager i møderne i alle udbudsudvalg i den bredere offentlige sektor med ret til at afgive en ikke-bindende udtalelse og få den optaget i protokollen.
My responsibilities in this capacity include the statutory right, together with the National Audit Institution, to have an observer attending meetings of all the Tender Boards in the wider public sector with the right to express a non-binding opinion and have it recorded in the minutes.
Decentraliseringen af den offentlige udbudsprocedure resulterede i øget ansvarlighed, gennemskuelighed, sparsommelighed, effektivitet og produktivitet inden for de offentlige indkøb i Cypern.
Decentralisation of the public tenders award procedures resulted in enhanced accountability, transparency, economy, efficiency and effectiveness in the field of Public Procurement in Cyprus.
(c) forvaltning af spørgsmål, der er finansielt og politisk følsomme
c) Management of issues that have financial and political sensitivity
(i) I henhold til den relevante lovgivning er den ledende regnskabsfører formand for Central Committee for Variations and Claims (CCVC) on public contracts.
(i) By a relevant law, the Accountant General is the Chairman of the Central Committee for Variations and Claims (CCVC) on public contracts.
CCVC har den ultimative administrative kompetence til at træffe afgørelse om disse spørgsmål, idet det næste skridt bliver voldgift eller sagsanlæg ved domstolene.
The CCVC has the ultimate administrative authority to decide on such issues with the next steps being arbitration or recourse to the Courts.
Det nationale revisionsorgan er repræsenteret i CCVC ved en observatør med ret til at afgive en ikke-bindende udtalelse og få denne optaget i protokollen.
The National Audit Institution is represented on the CCVC by an observer with the right to express a non-binding opinion and have it recorded in the minutes.
I 1997 efter afslutning af procedurerne for offentlige indkøb, tildelte regeringen en kontrakt om opførelse af det nye Nicosia General Hospital med afslutningsdato i begyndelsen af 2002.
In 1997, following public procurement procedures, the Government awarded a contract for the construction of the New Nicosia General Hospital with completion date in early 2002.
Under opførelsen blev projektets omfang øget væsentligt med alvorlige forsinkelser til følge.
During construction, the size of the Project was substantially increased resulting in serious delays.
I begyndelsen af 2002 stod det reviderede projekt 60 % færdigt med en væsentlig eskalering af den oprindelige kontraktværdi.
In early 2002, the revised Project was 60% complete with a substantial escalation in the original contract value.
