Accountability

An internal audit conducted by the Portuguese Finance authorities unveiled that a number of high-ranked State managers didn't follow instructions, and didn't cut their own salaries, as mandated by the austerity program (that they are then actually enforcing). Finding this out is important, but lacks clear measures. It's not stated what will be done now - will those managers have to repay the State the abused funds, will they be fired? It is important to state the corrective and punitive measures and a specific time-frame from them - as it would happen in any private sector company.
