Welcome to the State Audit Office of Latvia homepage

Auditor General
Inguna Sudraba

The State Audit Office of the Republic of Latvia is an independent institution, a fundamental element of the state financial system subjected only to the law. Our decisions have to be taken collegially to ensure successful control over the utilization of central and local government resources, implementation of functions set in regulatory enactments and provision of recommendations for improvement of central and local government work.

Our work is based on transparency and openness principle – we want to be a professional and organized institution to be an example for others. Our role is to be a consultant not an inspector for central and local governments.

We serve the interests of society and we are interested in ethical and legal utilization of resources. We want to be a reliable assistant for the society in general and for each member of society.
