Förvaltningsgranskningar

Förvaltningsgranskningar, or administrative reviews, are systematic evaluations of how public authorities and organizations carry out their operations and responsibilities. The primary purpose of these reviews is to assess efficiency, effectiveness, legality, and economy in administrative processes. They aim to identify areas for improvement, ensure compliance with laws and regulations, and enhance public trust.

These reviews can be conducted internally by the organization itself or externally by independent bodies. Internal reviews often focus on operational efficiency and adherence to internal policies. External reviews, such as those conducted by auditors, ombudsmen, or specialized oversight agencies, provide a more objective assessment and can lead to recommendations for systemic changes. The scope of a förvaltningsgranskning can vary widely, from examining a single process, like permit application handling, to a comprehensive review of an entire agency's performance.

The findings from administrative reviews typically result in reports detailing identified strengths, weaknesses, and specific recommendations. Authorities are usually expected to respond to these findings and implement necessary corrective actions. The ultimate goal is to ensure that public administration functions in a manner that is fair, transparent, and beneficial to society.
