"Jeg blev ansat i Revisionsretten i 2006. Som revisor arbejder jeg med samhørighedspolitikken og med den årlige resultatrapport, som giver en samlet vurdering af EU-programmernes merværdi.

Mine opgaver omfatter planlægning af revisioner, vurdering af dokumentation, gennemgang af en lang række dokumenter, udarbejdelse af rapporter samt besøg på stedet hos myndigheder og støttemodtagere i medlemsstaterne. Vores vigtigste arbejdssprog er engelsk, men vi taler også flere andre sprog. Gode kommunikationsevner og organisatoriske færdigheder er afgørende for mit job.

Jeg er uddannet ingeniør og har derefter studeret offentlig forvaltning. Jeg er desuden certificeret intern revisor hos Foreningen af Interne Revisorer og har også taget en mastergrad i revisionsledelse og rådgivning. Inden min ansættelse i Revisionsretten arbejdede jeg som projektleder og intern revisor i forskellige erhvervsorganisationer."

Revisor, Den Europæiske Revisionsret

What does an EU auditor do?

An EU auditor assures that taxpayer money is spent correctly and that it gives real value to EU citizens.

What do you enjoy most about your job?

What I enjoy the most is the different kinds of actions taken by the EU and that I get to audit them. Every day you get to learn something new, and I find that really exciting.

One tip for someone considering applying to the audit competition?

I would suggest getting to know the programs and the actions taken by the EU, getting sense of the overall picture of what’s done and how it’s enacted in the member states and across the world.

What does an EU auditor do?

At the European Court of Auditors, we are the guardians of the EU's finances. We conduct financial and performance audits to check if money is accounted for and if it's delivering true value. My job involves analysing complex programmes and meeting international partners to ensure EU support delivers real results, both inside and outside the Union. 

What do you enjoy most about your job?

What I love the most is the tangible impact and the international scope. Recently, I audited health systems in Burundi and Zimbabwe, focusing on sustainability and coordination. It is incredibly rewarding to issue recommendations that directly improve how funding is allocated, knowing my work leads to better, lasting outcomes for people on the ground.

One tip for someone considering applying to the audit competition?

For this level, we need professionals who can think strategically about performance and risk. My tip is to study the EU financial regulation and read a few of our recent audit reports to understand our methodology and tone. If you want a career where your expertise drives real change, apply today.

Jeg arbejder som revisor i Europa-Kommissionen, et spændende og tilfredsstillende job. Vores vigtigste mål er at sikre en korrekt og lovlig anvendelse af EU-skatteydernes penge. Jeg fører også tilsyn og sikrer, at systemerne fungerer korrekt, og at reglerne overholdes.

Et af de mest interessante aspekter af mit job er kontakten med modtagere af EU-midler i alle EU-landene (og i lande uden for EU) gennem kontrol på stedet i deres lokaler. Et andet spændende aspekt er samarbejdet med kolleger fra alle Kommissionens tjenestegrene, som giver os revisorer et samlet overblik over Kommissionens aktiviteter.
