• State of Central Government Accounts 2010

  Audit | 18-05-2011

  

  The regularity of central government finances in the Netherlands was again of a high standard in 2010. This is a commendable attainment. A high standard of regularity will remain important in the years ahead, particularly as the government is seeking to establish a more compact civil service. A reduction in the size of the civil service will provide opportunities to make necessary improvements in operational management at a number of ministries, especially at the Ministries of Defence and Health, Welfare and Sport (VWS). Good operational management will also help keep track of the progress, performance and impact of a more compact civil service.

• Impact Assessment: Public Broadcasting in Picture

  Audit | 17-03-2011

  

  In this report, the Court of Audit presents the results of its Impact Assessment of an audit it had published on 11 September 2008 entitled Public Broadcasting in Picture; Financing, operational management and supervision. We had carried out the original audit at the request of the House of Representatives. Our Impact Assessment found that most of our recommendations had been followed up and the undertakings made by the government had been fulfilled. We also concluded, though, that supervision of public broadcasters could be more risk based and there were still overlaps in the supervision.

• Funding of Political Parties

  Audit | 17-02-2011

  

  This investigative audit of the funding of political parties considers both the rules on grants given to political parties and the regulation of other funding sources, such as gifts and donations. We investigated the current regulations on party funding in the Netherlands and compared them with similar regulations abroad and with the recommendations made by the Council of Europe.

• Credit crisis and EU country crisis: Interventions and follow-up

  Audit | 14-12-2010

  

  The Court of Audit is following the main interventions and arrangements made by the Ministry of Finance to overcome the credit crisis. In 2010 we widened our study to include the ministry's interventions regarding the EU country crisis. The fourth progress report covers the second and third quarters of 2010. We published earlier reports on the credit crisis on 19 May 2010, 14 January 2010 and 19 May 2009.

• The system of supervision of financial markets

  Audit | 16-12-2009

  

  We have carried out an exploratory study of the system in place to supervise the stability of the financial system in the Netherlands. This supervision is exercised by De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB). Our report highlights tensions that are inherent in the supervisory system and also draws attention to a number of critical themes.
