Performance audit is now in fashion, but has in the past been a somewhat closed world, little studied by outsiders. Now an international team of researchers has studied the work of five national audit offices – France, Finland, The Netherlands, Sweden, and the UK. The picture thus revealed contains elements of technical innovation, methodological challenge, and crucial strategic choice.
Keywords: performance audit, France, Sweden, Finland, Netherlands, United Kingdom, national audit offices, technical innovation, methodological challenge, strategic choice
