Summary/Abstract: The topic of the study tries to answer the question, „Is external public audit a lever to identify vulnerabilities in the way how the public funds for sustainable regional and local development are managed?” In this respect, the approach started from the analysis and re-treating of the disfunctions found by the Supreme Audit Institution in the management of public funds of the ministry under review. Thus, with the help provided by the global diagnostic grid of the public funding management of the ministry, the disfunctions were addressed in the hierarchical order of the entities which receive public funds and also according to the typology of the deviations. The disfunctions were re-treated on the basis of the trinomial criterion of financial accounting - budget execution - internal management control system.
