Planning and monitoring

Print page

NAOF'S long-term goals, priorities and policies are set out in the agency's strategy.

The strategy lays out how the audits are focused, lists the goals for audit, evaluation and expert activities, and describes how NAOF is developing its work. The strategy of the National Audit Office is translated into concrete plans in the agency’s annual audit plan, operating and financial plan and performance targets. The audits are based on the audit plan, as laid down in the Act on the National Audit Office.

Working in cooperation with the agency’s other departments, the planning function of the Executive Office prepares proposals for policies, audit plans and performance targets, which are then submitted to NAOF’s management for approval. The planning function also prepares the macroeconomic risk analyses of the central government finances and the analyses of the operating environment for audit planning. The Administrative Services Unit prepares the agency’s annual operating and financial plan as well as its final accounts.
