Dimitar Glavchev was elected as President of the Bulgarian National Audit Office on 28 July 2023, for a 7 year long term.

[1] If Glavchev - as expected - will be approved as the next caretaker Prime Minister of Bulgaria in 2024, he will take unpaid leave for the duration of his Prime Minister tenure, and designate a vice president of BNAO to exercise his powers while being on unpaid leave.

After all, as early as the 19th century, Bulgaria managed to build one of the most modern such institutions of its time with a court and prosecutor's office regarding the control and disputes over public finances.
