De Noordelijke Rekenkamer (The Northern Audit Office), brief description

De 'Noordelijke Rekenkamer' was established in 2005 due to transformations in the public sector. The main goal is to support the provincial council (representative body, calles 'Provinciale Staten') and the provincial democracy in general, of the northern provinces Drenthe, Fryslân and Groningen. More specifically the Noordelijke Rekenkamer aims at supporting the Provinciale Staten in meeting their constitutional responsibilities and at helping to improve provincial (regional) government's and the wider provincial democracy's the performance and accountability.  

De Noordelijke Rekenkamer is independent in its choice of audits. Focus of all audits is legality, effectiveness, and efficiency of provincial policies. Every four years the Rekenkamer composes a research programme. (pdf, 397 kB)
