Relevant legislation
Methods of increasing efficiency of control and audits
Combating fraud and preventing irregularities
Practical knowhow through workshops on audit of public procurement, audit of State Aid, and Performance audit
The unique feature of this course is that it covers the experience of internal and external audit experts from the public sector, the EU Commission, as well as the European Court of Auditors (ECA) and OLAF.
The course is organised in premises of European Court of Auditors in Luxembourg (with active participation of ECA’s auditors) and includes guided visit of the ECA’s premises.
How will it help you?
We have made this course very practical and interactive. All presentations conducted by audit experts include concrete examples and real case studies. Each of them is followed by a practical workshop in small working groups with direct involvement of ECA’s experts, where you will learn about errors and irregularities and about how audits are performed.
