national audit offices

National Audit Offices are independent government agencies responsible for examining how public funds are spent. They assess whether government departments and programs use resources effectively, efficiently, and in accordance with laws. Their goal is to ensure transparency, accountability, and fiscal responsibility in public administration. By conducting audits and producing reports, they help prevent waste, detect fraud, and inform policymakers and the public about the quality of public financial management. In short, they serve as watchdogs to ensure taxpayers’ money is managed properly and government actions are accountable.
