The National Audit Office's strategy has been drawn up for 2019 –2023. It aims to ensure the NAOF's societal impact. At the beginning of 2023, the NAOF launched a clearer organization and management model. The objective is to ensure efficient decision-making and a strong focus on audit and monitoring. The NAOF will start revamping its strategy in 2023.
