Topic of this paper. The implementation of good governance principles in Lithuanian strategic sports federations. The intent of the paper. In 2017, Department of Physical Education and Sports (DPES) implemented a criteria, which meant that starting in 2018 funding from the government was directly transferred to federations without any input from other government organizations. The change allowed federations to have a greater amount of autonomy. However, this amount of autonomy might create more problems, if vast money transfers (and other processes) are not administered right which creates the importance of the implementation of good governance principles and its continuous constructing. In 2014, to analyze the principles of good governance in Lithuanian sports federations, two very important investigations were conducted. While analyzing good governanve in Lithuania, Karolis Dieninis implied that strategic sports federations are lacking tranparency, meaningful infromation in federations' social media, higher level of social responsibility programs, improved communication with people of interest, etc. Agnė Vanagienė noticed that there is still a need to improve and monitor Lithuanian federations and their governance with a goal of increased effectiveness, sthenghts and competitiveness. By the project of Danish organization "Play the game" which started in 2017 and is going to be done throughout 2018, and by its expoerience created NSGO tool, this paper investigated the level of implementation of good governance principles Lithuanian strategic sports federations. By doing it, it was wanted to find out if Lithuanian strategic sports federations implemented the principles of good governance in the last four years and improved on their weak spots. The whole investigation is based on the newest "Play the game" investigation and NSGO tool. Object of the paper.

Statistical analysis. Results and findings. • Mutual application of four princiles reaches 68,39% which is considered a good level of implementation. • Transparency reached 52.85%, democracy 47.85%, internal accountability and control 72.43% social responsibility 43.45%. All of the principles reached a result which is considered a good level of implementation. • When comparing data from 2014 and 2018 investigations, there was a 9.52% increase in transparency (43.33% to 52.85%), democracy slightly decreaced by 1.59% (76.44% to 74.85). • The analysis of a specialty item (federation no. 5) displayed a contrasting evaluation of the results. Asociation indicated that immplementation of the principles of federation no. 5 reaches 25.23% which is considered an average level of implementatio, but federation no. 5 evaluated themselves as 91.32%, which is a very good level of implementation.
