European Court of Auditors

The European Court of Auditors (ECA) is an institution of the European Union responsible for overseeing the finances of the EU. Its main role is to audit how EU funds are spent, ensuring that money is used properly and efficiently. The ECA examines the financial accounts of EU institutions, assesses the legality and regularity of transactions, and reports on financial management practices. By providing independent and objective assessments, the ECA helps improve accountability and transparency in EU spending, ultimately contributing to better governance for EU citizens.
