The study undertakes to model of perfect quality in order to clarify the basic logic of quality improvement. The model defines the system of requirements based on the stakeholder’s point of view and the philosophy of Total Quality Management, which the perfect quality product can fully meet. The main obstacle may be that the system of stakeholder requirements is almost always fraught with internal contradictions. The system of requirements that has already been harmonized makes it possible to avoid the traditional way of quality development, namely the prioritization of requirements, and in this way, many of them being ignored. Consistency can be created primarily through mutual education, information, and lobbying activities. Some of the domestic public financial organizations can learn directly about the partial set of requirements of non-power stakeholders through legal remedy procedures, but for many this is not possible either. Few public financial organizations have a formal influence channel towards organizations exercising power, such as the State Audit Office and the Hungarian National Bank, which are far ahead of other organizations in terms of education and information.
