| Summary: | This paper aims to analyze the financial performance of Romania's National Public Pension House (CNPP) and
evaluate the role of internal audit in public financial management. Public institutions, such as the CNPP, manage
substantial financial resources derived from taxes, fees, and non-refundable sources like the National Recovery and
Resilience Plan (PNRR). These funds are essential for providing public services, including pensions and social security
benefits. Effective management and oversight of these resources are crucial for ensuring transparency, efficiency, and
accountability.
The study employs a quantitative analysis of financial indicators over the past five years, focusing on trends and
the impact of internal managerial control deficiencies on the institution's financial performance. By using linear
regression models, the research examines key performance metrics such as Working Capital, Working Capital
Requirement, and Net Treasury. The findings reveal fluctuating trends influenced by the pandemic and other socioeconomic factors, highlighting the importance of robust internal controls and audits.
Additionally, the study underscores the significance of internal audit functions in enhancing governance,
identifying risks, and ensuring compliance with regulations. These mechanisms are critical for maintaining financial
stability, optimizing resource management, and supporting strategic decision-making. The insights gained from this
analysis provide valuable recommendations for policymakers and public administration officials to strengthen internal
audit practices and improve financial management within public entities. The research concludes that regular audits
and rigorous internal controls are essential for sustaining the financial health and operational efficiency of institutions
like the CNPP, ultimately ensuring the reliability of pension payments and other financial obligations |
