Varainhallintaa

Varainhallintaa describes the legal and regulatory framework governing the collection, management, and use of state property in Finland. The concept pertains to the administration and control of public assets, which includes movable and immovable property such as real estate, buildings, infrastructure, and other tangible goods, as well as intangible assets like intellectual property and financial instruments.

Varainhallinta encompasses a range of activities including acquisition, maintenance, sale, and disposal of state property, as well as its management in compliance with pertinent laws and regulations. This concept is a critical component of public administration, given the significant financial implications involved in the management and utilization of public assets.

In the context of Finnish public administration, varainhallintaa falls under the auspices of the Chancellor of Justice, who oversees and regulates various aspects of property management. This includes adherence to laws, directives, and international conventions governing the acquisition, management, and use of state property. The goal of varainhallintaa is to ensure that state property is used efficiently, effectively, and in a manner that serves the public interest.

The legal framework governing varainhallintaa is rooted in the Constitution and various statutes, such as the Public Administrative Act and the Administrative Procedure Act. These laws outline the principles, procedures, and standards for managing state property, and provide a framework for accountability and transparency in the administration of public assets.
