EUROSAI Database on audits

Czech Republic

The Supreme Audit Office of the Czech Republic administers the EUROSAI database of audits. It regularly validates audits entered into the database and updates it on behalf of the SAO and other SAIs. The SAO promotes the database and encourages EUROSAI members to add audits into the database to further improve the exchange of information between EUROSAI members.
