European Court of Auditors

European 
Court of Auditors

Cooperation between the National Audit Office of Lithuania and the European Court of Auditors (ECA) dates back to the so-called Luxembourg Declaration signed in 1996 which defined the objectives of co-operation between the SAIs of Central and East European Countries and the ECA.

An important forum for cooperation with the ECA is the Contact Committee consisting of the Heads of all the SAIs of the EU Member States and the President of the European Court of Auditors. It is autonomous, independent and non-political and works to enhance co-operation among its members in order to improve external audit and accountability in the EU field.


The NAOL also participate in the activities of the Liaison Officers Committee and the Working Groups on specific audit topics:

° Structural Funds,

° Activities in the VAT Area, and

° Audit Deficits.

Cooperation with the European Court of Auditors takes place in the form of ECA audit missions during which audits of the use of European Community funds in the Member States are performed. During such audits the National Audit Office of Lithuania provide the ECA with practical and logistic support as well as specific knowledge of the audited area.

The NAOL also maintain direct relations with the ECA by exchanging visits of the heads and delegations at the institutional level.

European Commission

We cooperate with the European Commission in performing audit missions meant to examine the use of European Community funds in Lithuania. Auditors of the NAOL participate in seminars and conferences organized by the European Commission's Directorates-General wherein audit questions as well as issues of the European Union funds and internal control system are analysed.
