Welcome to the Portuguese Court of Auditors

As
a​ Supreme Audit Institution (SAI), the Portuguese Court of Auditors is responsible for overseeing the legality and proper management of public resources. It conducts a priori, concurrent, and subsequent audits of public finances and has the authority to investigate and enforce financial liabilities for financial offenses.

The Court operates as a sovereign body, holding equal authority to the President of the Republic, Parliament, Government, and other courts.

Our mission is to control the legality and the regularity of public revenue and expenditure, rule on the Accounts as required by the Law, deliver opinions on the General State Account and on the Accounts of the Autonomous Regions, assess the quality of public financial management and enforce financial liabilities, exercising such other powers as assigned by Law​.​
