Peer review of Rigsrevisionen

A team of international peer reviewers assembled to give the Danish parliament (Folketing), the Public Accounts Committee, the government administration, and the public an assessment of Rigsrevisionen's auditing practice. The peer review was to determine whether Rigsrevisionen's auditing practice was independent and suitably designed, and whether it was operating effectively to provide the Folketing with objective information about the government administration.

This report has been prepared for the use of the Rigsrevisionen to conclude on the peer review assessment.

The peer review focused on whether the audits at Rigsrevisionen are effective, in accordance with established international standards and in keeping with the practice of professional Supreme Audit Institutions (SAIs). The review examined the performance and financial audit practices of Rigsrevisionen.

The peer review team used the auditing standards and guidelines that the International Organization of Supreme Audit Institutions (INTOSAI) issued to asses the audit guidelines and procedures of Rigsrevisionen.
