EUROSAI Training Committee

The creation of a EUROSAI Training Committee (ETC) was approved by the Governing Board at its XXI meeting held in Madrid (Spain) in 2000, following an extraordinary (XIX) meeting in Paris in November 1999 and a preparatory meeting in Frankfurt in early 2000.
 
The ETC was set with eight Members: the SAI of the Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Poland, Portugal, Spain and United Kingdom. The SAI of France and Spain co-preside over the Committee. In the XXXI meeting of the EUROSAI Governing Board (Reykjavik, 11 September 2006), it was agreed to admit to the Training Committee as new Members, the SAI of Lithuania and the SAI of Hungary; that had been observers at the Committee since 2002 and 2005, respectively. In the XXXII meeting of the Governing Board (Bern, 13 September 2007), the SAI of the Russian Federation became Member of the EUROSAI Training Committee, after having participated in this Committee as an observer.

Some other entities normally take part in the ETC meetings: other SAIs when it is convenient due to the topics to be dealt with, the European Court of Auditors, SIGMA and the INTOSAI Development Initiative (IDI).

The ETC, under the authority of the Governing Board, is in charge of all the questions relating to training within the EUROSAI region.
