The lack of transparency in the management of oil reserves and revenue, the issuance of government contracts and the enforcement of often ambivalent regulations has provided the government with many opportunities for rent-seeking and corruptive practices, with no accountability mechanisms. Libya scores 16 out of 100 on the Corruption Perceptions Index 2015 and ranks 161 out of 168 countries (Transparency International, 2016) (Table 3.9). On the other hand, the National Audit Bureau, established to support financial transparency and limit corruption, has been continuously monitoring the work of government institutions, After the revolution, it was supported by civil society organisations (CSOs) serving as corruption watchdogs (Mzioudet, 2014).
