The Court of Audit (in Dutch: Algemene Rekenkamer) is an independent body that audits the spending of the national government on its efficiency and legitimacy.[1] The Court of Audit is appointed by the cabinet of the Netherlands on the advice of the House of Representatives of the Netherlands. The Court of Audit is a High Council of State. It was established in 1814.[2]
In 2026 the Court of Audit set up an online dashboard to improve the public visibility of the government's performance.[3]
