29-31/10 LONDON, 63rd GOVERNING BOARD MEETING

The 63rd meeting of the EUROSAI Governing Board was held in London from 29 to 31 October. The Corte dei conti was appointed as a member of the Governing Board last May, joining the Supreme Audit Institutions (SAIs) of Israel, Spain, Slovakia, Lithuania, Sweden, the Czech Republic, and the United Kingdom.
During the meeting, which was hosted by the UK National Audit Office, new activities related to the Strategic Plan 2024-2030 were defined and some changes in the EUROSAI procedural and financial rules were discussed. These represented a new step in the strategic planning and development of the Organisation.
As part of the new strategic activities, the Corte dei conti presented the Portfolio on relations with non-SAI stakeholders and its Operational Plan 2024-2027, which were approved by the Governing Board.
The objective of the Portfolio is to provide EUROSAI and its members with a network that can help improve audit activities, consolidate international perceptions, and support initiatives to strengthen relations with civil society.
Regarding the changes in the Organisation's regulations, the members of the Governing Board agreed on the need to discuss them in more detail in a specific project group.
The next meeting will take place in Stockholm in June 2025.

 

16/17 OCTOBER - PAFOS (CYPRUS), ANNUAL MEETING OF THE EU CONTACT COMMITTEE

On 16 and 17 October, the Heads of the Supreme Audit Institutions (SAIs) of the European Union met in Pafos (Cyprus) for the annual meeting of the Contact Committee.
The central theme of the meeting was the analysis of migratory phenomena: as a challenge and as an opportunity for the different European countries. There were many contributions on the topic - recognised as one of the most urgent in Europe - that highlighted its difficulties and potential, including issues related to the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the EU's migration policy and the expectations of the new Pact on Migration and Asylum.
The High-level Conference that preceded the meeting, held on 15 October, focused on the crucial role of the independence of Supreme Audit Institutions in promoting transparency and good governance. This event highlighted the challenges faced by EU Supreme Audit Institutions in preserving their autonomy within the general framework of the importance of effective and independent financial control.
The Contact Committee reaffirmed the fundamental role of the SAIs in ensuring transparency and good governance, through the exchange of information, joint initiatives and mutual support, as well as through cooperation with the EU institutions.
The Corte dei was represented by two magistrates: Mauro Orefice and Giancarlo Di Lecce.

 

2-3/10/2024 CONTACT COMMITTEE FISCAL POLICY AUDIT NETWORK MEETING

The Contact Committee Fiscal Policy Audit Network meeting took place in Rome, hosted by the Italian Corte dei conti at its headquarters, with the participation of 19 Supreme Audit Institutions (SAIs), some of which joined remotely.
The working group, chaired by the Finnish SAI, aims to share experiences and knowledge to improve methodologies and practices in auditing national fiscal policies.
During the two-day meeting, key topics were discussed, focusing on the new European economic governance and its impacts on national frameworks, with particular attention to net primary expenditure as a single indicator introduced by the reform to ensure public debt sustainability. The issue of public debt sustainability itself was addressed from different perspectives, both in light of the funds from the Recovery and Resilience Facility and regarding ongoing accounting reforms. Specific reports on auditing fiscal policies, including in terms of ecological and digital transition, enriched the discussion.
In his welcome speech at the opening of the meeting, the President of the Corte dei conti, Guido Carlino, emphasized the crucial role of SAIs in conducting thorough oversight of the sustainability and implementation of fiscal policies.
The meeting, which also saw the participation of the State Accountant General, Daria Perrotta, provided an important opportunity to share the future perspectives of the group, with suggestions emerging on topics such as spending reviews, tax reforms, national resilience plans, and public debt management. There was broad consensus on the need for a diversified approach in future sessions, exploring different areas of interest related to fiscal policy and public debt sustainability.
The Polish Supreme Audit Institution has put forward its candidacy to host the next meeting.
