Cámara de Cuentas de Castilla-La Mancha
Summary
The Cámara de Cuentas de Castilla-La Mancha is the external audit institution (OCEx) of the Autonomous Community of Castilla-La Mancha, established by Law 7/2021 of 3 December and dependent on the Cortes de Castilla-La Mancha. It replaced the former Sindicatura de Cuentas (created by Ley 5/1993 and suppressed in 2014) and represents the re-establishment of an independent external audit body after a period when the community was covered exclusively by the national Tribunal de Cuentas. The President is elected by the Cortes for a six-year term, renewable once; the renewal is automatic unless the Cortes elect another person. The Cámara began exercising its audit function from the approval of its organizational regulations. It audits the economic, financial, budgetary, and accounting management of the Castilla-La Mancha public sector and local entities. Reports are submitted to the Cortes and made public.
