Spending the EU budget efficiently and transparently is key to ensuring the sound implementation of EU policies and citizen support for the Union. However, the fragmentation of reporting systems used across the EU hampers the scrutiny of how spending is done. To address this situation, the European Parliament's Budgetary Control (CONT) Committee has drafted a legislative-initiative report asking the Commission to submit, before the end of 2021, the legislative proposals needed for the introduction ...

EU rules on fit and proper are a patchwork of high-level principles and national law. Deep cross-country differences affect both the assessment process and the criteria used. New Level 1 measures are required to impose common requirements on knowledge, experience, good repute, independence and conflicts of interest, and to unify procedural aspects across Member States. Meanwhile, the ECB should assign a public score to individual board members and disclose the motivations behind its fit and proper ...

This document, prepared by Policy department A at the request of the Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee (ECON), summarises the key findings of the study on the EU Statutory Audit Reform.

Den Europæiske Unions (EU's) budget er inddelt i tre søjler: udgifter, finansiering og revision. Denne briefing ser på budgettets oprindelse, dets udvikling inden for rammerne af flerårig planlægning og den årlige budgettering.

In this study we execute an in-depth analysis of the evolution of market concentration, competition and costs in the EU market for statutory auditing before and after the Audit Reform. Based on data from archival databases and a survey, we present evidence suggesting that rivalry between the largest audit suppliers increased, as did audit costs, non-Big 4 audit market share, and joint audit rates. Non-audit services (NAS) fees earned by the incumbent auditor decreased. This document was provided ...

During the October II plenary session, the European Parliament is due to bring to a close the discharge procedure for the Council's financial accounts for the year 2015, by voting on the second report of the Committee on Budgetary Control. For several years in a row now, the Parliament has refused to grant discharge to the Council and the European Council.

Den Europæiske Revisionsret er ansvarlig for revisionen af EU's finanser. Som EU's eksterne revisor bidrager den til at forbedre EU's økonomiske forvaltning og fungerer som den uafhængige vogter af unionsborgernes finansielle interesser.

Kommissionen er ansvarlig for gennemførelsen af budgettet i samarbejde med medlemsstaterne, men den er underlagt Europa-Parlamentets politiske kontrol.

Der foretages kontrol af EU's budget i alle EU-institutioner og på medlemsstatsniveau. Revisionsretten og Parlamentet udfører et vigtigt kontrolarbejde på forskellige niveauer. Hvert år undersøger Parlamentet gennemførelsen af budgettet med henblik på at meddele decharge til Kommissionen, de andre EU-institutioner og Unionens agenturer.
