Slovak National Gallery Director Modifies Financial Report Data Before Public Accountability Session

Alexandra Kráľová, director of the Slovak National Gallery (SNG), quietly changed the timing of a public accountability session and modified data in the institution's annual report before presenting it this year. The session, originally scheduled for earlier in the year, was rescheduled without public notice. During the accountability presentation, Kráľová altered financial figures and other information in the annual report compared to previously published versions. The Slovak National Gallery is the country's premier art institution, responsible for managing the national art collection and major exhibitions. The session ultimately raised more questions than it answered, with concerns about transparency in the gallery's financial management and reporting practices. The modifications to both the timing and content of the accountability session have drawn criticism regarding the institution's commitment to public transparency.
