Riksrevisionen

"The heads of the cultural institutions essentially perceive the central governance to be well adapted to the direction and scope of their activities."

"However, the Swedish NAO makes the assessment that the central governance is not sufficiently adapted to the different operational forms in the sector."

"the survey conducted by the Swedish NAO shows that it is more common for administrators to have informal contacts with government agencies than with other types of institutions"

"The institutions in the survey have almost uniformly made the assessment that there is no risk of these informal contacts leading to any form of undue influence."

"Unless the Government ensures that the content of the guidelines corresponds to that of other policy documents established by the shareholders’ meeting, there is a risk of conflicting goals."

"Guidelines established by the Government have no validity in company law, and the boards of these companies have no obligation to comply with them."

"If the boards find it necessary to make a different prioritisation than what the Government has recommended, the Government risks not getting what it expects in return for public funding allocated to the companies."

"The guidelines or conditions set out by the Government are not legally binding for the foundations."

"This means that the Government is again at risk of not getting what it expects in return for the public funding allocated to the foundations."
