The National Audit Office

The National Audit Office is an authority under the Riksdag which is responsible for examining the way in which the Government uses the taxpayers' money in central government activities.

The objective of the authority is to help to promote good use of central government resources and an efficient public administration.

The National Audit Office has an independent status. It is headed by the Auditor General who decides what is to be audited him or herself. The Auditor General is appointed by the Riksdag.

The National Audit Office proposes measures, but it is the Government and Riksdag that decide whether to take any measures.

The National Audit Office is responsible for one element of the Riksdag's parliamentary control functions. Ensuring that the Government and public authorities perform their official duties correctly is one of the Riksdag's principal tasks.
