NETHERLANDS COURT OF AUDIT

Our strategy is the starting point for everything we do. It defines the contribution we make to improving the performance and functioning of public administration. To implement the strategy we prepare a work programme that we can update when necessary during the year... We want central government to account fully for its budget and policies. The Netherlands Court of Audit has a statutory duty to audit the government's accounts. Our audit mandate gives us unique and special legal powers to do so. We have a right to inspect all the relevant information we need to exercise our tasks - including confidential information... greater reach, deeper cooperation; to be effective, we work at home and abroad with fellow supreme audit institutions, other High Councils of State and public knowledge institutions.
