Court of Audit (Greece)

The Hellenic Court of Audit is the supreme audit institution of the Hellenic Republic. It audits the use of public funds in Greece according to the principles of legality, regularity and sound financial management. It is also the Supreme Financial Court, one of the three Supreme Courts of Justice, and is grounded on the Constitution, which provides for its jurisdictional, advisory and auditing competences. The source describes it, in short, as a body that combines the checking of public spending with the work of a highest court in financial matters.
