President of the Austrian Court of Audit and Secretary General of INTOSAI at the Supreme Audit Office
On June 25, 2015, Dr. Josef Moser, President of the Austrian Court of Audit and Secretary General of the International Organization of Supreme Audit Institutions (INTOSAI), arrived at the Supreme Audit Office (SAO) for an official visit. On the agenda of his meeting with top representatives from the SAO were future possibilities of co-operation between both institutions.
Dr. Moser was informed about the conference entitled eData – the future of auditing that had been previously organized at the SAO headquarters. Participants of the meeting later discussed how supreme audit institutions (SAIs) perform audits of local governments and their financial management and talked about the Austrian Court of Audit’s experience in this area. This part of the meeting was also attended by Czech Senator Mr. Radko Martínek, who focused on the issue of a possible increase in the SAO’s competences in the field of the budgetary performance of regional and local governments as well as in enterprises partially owned by the State.
At the end of the meeting, the Austrian delegation gave a presentation about an INTOSAI initiative focusing on SAIs’ independence and about the main principles of independence of SAIs as well as about the Peer-Review Project on the Independence of SAIs.
