Chamber of Control, Georgia Republic
The site was founded in October 2007, and in May 2011, the Chamber of Control of the Republic of Georgia took over the website. This national government body was established by the National Council of Independent Georgia.
The goal was to handle information, opportunities, and disputes on national level for municipal and financial avenues and to handle disputes between levels of government on laws and provisions. They also perform financial audits for state government entities.
To achieve these goals, the Chamber of Control employed three strategic focal points: professional development; organizational development; and, corporate reputation and external communication.
The About section discussed auditing done by the Control Board, its history, audit disputes, and specific information for participants of the website.
