The Magyar Nemzeti Bank issued commemorative coins to mark the 150th anniversary of the State Audit Office's foundation and the 30th anniversary of the National Audit Office's independent auditing resumption. The State Audit Office, as Parliament's main financial and economic control body, ensures the efficient and effective use of public funds.
Established in 1870 as the Hungarian Royal Supreme State Audit Office, it maintained independence from the government until its termination by decree in 1949 amid political changes after World War II. Re-established on January 1, 1990, alongside the proclamation of the Third Hungarian Republic, the State Audit Office, or ÁSZ, operates in accordance with the Basic Law to promote transparency in public finances through value-creating audits and extensive knowledge-sharing activities.
