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.

Jien naħdem bħala awditur fil-Kummissjoni Ewropea, rwol eċċitanti u sodisfaċenti. L-għan ewlieni tagħna huwa li niggarantixxu l-użu korrett u legali tal-flus tal-kontribwenti tal-UE. Nipprovdi wkoll sorveljanza, filwaqt li niżgura li s-sistemi jkunu qed jaħdmu sew u li r-regoli jiġu rispettati.

Waħda mill-aktar partijiet interessanti ta’ xogħli hija l-interazzjoni mal-benefiċjarji tal-finanzjament tal-UE fil-pajjiżi kollha tal-UE (u anke lil hinn) permezz ta’ kontrolli fuq il-post fil-bini tagħhom. Il-ħidma flimkien ma’ kollegi mid-dipartimenti kollha tal-Kummissjoni tal-UE hija daqstant affaxxinanti peress li tagħtina stampa ġenerali tal-operazzjonijiet tal-Kummissjoni tal-UE.
