Criticisms By The State Comptroller
The unit has come under repeated criticisms by the Israeli State Comptroller (a position comparable to a cabinet post) for suffering from various deficiencies. In its 2003 report, it noted that the IDF's internal comptroller units, who are organizationally part of the respective branches (illegally so) and professionally subordinate to the Defense Establishment Comptroller, operate without any involvement from the latter. In his 2005 report, the State Comptroller, Eliezer Goldberg, maintained that Defense Establishment Comptroller failed to foster consistent conduct among the 80 IDF internal comptrollership bodies, and that the unit failed to undertake inspections in the frequency required by regulations.

Famous quotes containing the words criticisms and/or state:
“I have no concern with any economic criticisms of the communist system; I cannot enquire into whether the abolition of private property is expedient or advantageous. But I am able to recognize that the psychological premises on which the system is based are an untenable illusion. In abolishing private property we deprive the human love of aggression of one of its instruments ... but we have in no way altered the differences in power and influence which are misused by aggressiveness.”
—Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)
“The law of nature is alternation for evermore. Each electrical state superinduces the opposite. The soul environs itself with friends, that it may enter into a grander self-acquaintance or solitude; and it goes alone for a season, that it may exalt its conversation or society.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
