Court of Auditors' special reports in the context of the 2014 Commission discharge

2015/2206(DEC)

PURPOSE: presentation of the Court of Auditors' Special Reports in the context of the 2014 Commission discharge.

CONTENT: the European Court of Auditors' (ECA) Special Reports present the results of ECA's performance audits, which cover a wide range of topics on issues related to the management of EU funds, programmes and policies.

ECA's Special Reports form an integral part of the Discharge procedure, and the European Parliament adopts a separate resolution on the Special Reports published during the year of the specific Discharge.

The ECA is free to choose when to publish its special reports. It produces around 20 each year.

In addition to its audit reports, the ECA publishes opinions (around 10 per year) on legislative proposals with an impact on EU financial management, as well as ad hoc publications on EU public finance issues.

All reports are published on the ECA’s website in the official EU languages.

The latest special reports may be found on the ECA’s website.
