„Evropskemu računskemu sodišču sem se pridružil leta 2006. Kot revizor delam na področju kohezijske politike in letnega poročila o smotrnosti, ki zagotavlja celovito oceno dodane vrednosti programov EU.

Moje delo vključuje načrtovanje revizij, ocenjevanje dokazov, pregledovanje najrazličnejših dokumentov, pripravo poročil ter obiske na kraju samem pri organih in upravičencih v državah članicah. Naš glavni delovni jezik je angleščina, govorimo pa tudi več drugih jezikov. Dobre komunikacijske in organizacijske sposobnosti so bistvenega pomena za moje delo.

Po izobrazbi sem inženir, študij sem nadaljeval na področju javne uprave. Poleg tega sem pridobil kvalifikacijo pooblaščenega notranjega revizorja pri Inštitutu notranjih revizorjev, nato pa sem zaključil magisterij znanosti iz upravljanja revizij in svetovanja. Preden sem se zaposlil pri Evropskemu računskemu sodišču, sem delal kot vodja projekta in notranji revizor v industrijskih organizacijah.“

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.

Pri Evropski komisiji opravljam zanimivo in izpolnjujoče delo – zaposlen sem namreč kot revizor. Naš glavni cilj je zagotoviti pravilno in zakonito uporabo denarja davkoplačevalcev EU. Skrbim tudi za nadzor ter preverjam pravilno delovanje sistemov in upoštevanje pravil.

Med najbolj zanimivimi vidiki mojega dela je interakcija z upravičenci do sredstev EU v državah EU (in tudi zunaj nje) s pregledi na kraju samem v njihovih prostorih. Sodelovanje s kolegi iz drugih služb Komisije EU je prav tako zanimivo, saj revizorjem daje splošen pregled nad dejavnostmi Komisije.
