The WG has been chaired by the SAO since 2011 and one of its current important achievements was creating a new database of EUROSAI audits. At present, this database contains more than 700 audits and offers wide possibilities of utilisation of the audit results among individual Member States, enables sharing of new trends in auditing, and allows to compare specific criteria, for instance prices. Other achievements of the WG were the development of a new database of products, the use of experts from individual SAIs, increasing numbers of training activities, and strengthened cooperation among SAIs regarding audit operations.
