Audit of EU funds

Statskontoret is the National Audit Authority of EU funds, operating on a shared management basis. This means that the European Commission has overall responsibility for the funds but that the Member State Sweden is responsible for their implementation in Sweden.

The funds' EU resources shall be used for the right purpose and in an effective manner, which governs Statskontoret's mission as audit authority. The funds covered by the audit assignment are

  • the Structural Funds
  • the European Fisheries Fund
  • the SOLID funds
  • the Agricultural Funds
  • the Recovery and Resilience Facility.

Our mission includes auditing the Swedish co-financing of the funds and to promote correct and effective administration in Sweden.

System and project audits

Statskontoret's goal is to conduct audits in an efficient and appropriate manner. We audit the agency responsible for the management in Sweden with a view to how the operations have been carried out. The audits are performed independently of the agencies being audited.

We perform two types of audit: system and project audit. The former is an audit to ensure that management and control systems comply with applicable rules and regulations. The latter is an audit of the projects and the received fundings. Through the audits and assessments, we check that the payments have been made in accordance with applicable regulations, all in order to ensure the agencies' management has been efficient.

Statskontoret reports the observations and results of the audits to the Commission, the Government and the audited agencies.
