About EUROSAI Congress 2014

The Netherlands Court of Audit was proud to host the IX EUROSAI Congress. It was the meeting point for all supreme audit institutions in Europe, members of the EUROSAI community.

Innovation was the central theme in The Hague from 16-19 June 2014. When was the last time you did something for the first time? We would like to contribute to better public auditing through sharing new ways of performing with each other.

Our ambition was to give you at least two ideas which can be used in your home country and can be implemented shortly after the Congress.

Hope you enjoyed your stay in The Hague and will inspire your colleagues back home! #eurosai14

Innovation being the central theme, the Congress was an interactive experience with all manner of creative interventions and hands-on activities. There were work sessions by EUROSAI members, in which participants together found innovative solutions to the challenges facing supreme audit institutions, as well as inspirational sessions.

Congress 2.0

The Netherlands aimed at a radically different kind of congress.

Speakers

The congress organising team invited inspirational speakers from outside the SAI community to make you think about your position as an audit institution, your working methods and your role as an auditor both now and in the future.

Young EUROSAI

In November 2013 the Netherlands Court of Audit organised Young EUROSAI (YES). The very first conference for young staff members under 36 years of European supreme audit institutions. YES will inform visitors of the IX EUROSAI Congress of the views on innovation held by younger generations and possible future leaders of EUROSAI members.

The conference was an excellent opportunity for young staff members to bring forward new ideas and to share knowledge with European peers at first hand.

Workshops YES 2013

25 Workshops in 4 rounds in 3 days: the YES Conference offered a wide range of subjects, ranging from open data to serious games and real-time auditing.
