Financial auditing
The objective is to confirm that the accounts do not contain material defects and deficiencies and that the transactions upon which the accounts are based comply with the decisions and intentions of the Storting.
The results of financial audits are reported once a year for each ministry in Document no. 1.
For auditors to be able to confirm that the accounts do not contain material defects and deficiencies, an audit of accounting is conducted.
Auditors must also give their opinion about whether the transactions upon which the accounts have been based comply with the decisions and intentions of the Storting and with legislation and rules. To achieve this, auditors conduct a control of dispositions to ensure that the money has been employed for the purpose determined by the Storting.
