Financial audit impact: Using reports to inform budgetary processes
Summary
Tuesday, 1 October 2024 (14:00 – 15:30 CEST)
Enabling impact of public oversight through better understanding and use of audit results in parliament
The objective of the webinar series is to raise awareness, share experiences and inspire to more active engagement and use of audit reports tabled to parliament or published by the Supreme Audit Institutions (SAIs).
The first session will explore the results of financial audit reports and how these results are used. We will explore how the information in financial audit reports can be used wider to feed into other parliamentary processes. We aim to highlight what the SAIs are already doing to make sure financial audit results have broader impact and to consider how parliamentarians can use audit results in budgetary processes.
