About us

Rigsrevisionen is a public institution; its primary task is to audit the state accounts and to examine whether state funds are administered in accordance with the decisions of the Folketing.

Rigsrevisionen is an organisation under the Folketing, however, independent in the performance of its duties. Rigsrevisionen is impartial and objective in its approach when performing audits.

Rigsrevisionen is headed by an Auditor General. The Auditor General co-operates with the Public Accounts Committee who according to the Constitution “supervises the audit control in the government administration”. It rests upon the Auditor General to assist the Public Accounts Committee in its review of the state accounts and to carry out examinations requested by the Public Accounts Committee.

Rigsrevisionen employs about 270 people, working within a wide range of disciplines reflecting the many tasks that the institution is performing.

Rigsrevisionen publishes the results of its examinations. Reports, memoranda and other products of interest may also be seen on the homepage.
