The National Audit Office presents its new institutional strategy up to 2030, which aims to strengthen the value created by the public sector and the quality of decision-making, and to focus even more on the real impact on people and the state.
In the face of demographic challenges, growing pressure on public finances, increasing geopolitical and economic uncertainty, and accelerating technological change, the National Audit Office aims to act not only as an independent evaluator but also as an active driver of the state’s progress.
Until 2030, the National Audit Office team will prioritise audits and assessments that create greater value for the public sector, for people and for the state. This means better public decisions, more efficient use of resources, higher-quality public services and growing trust in the state.
“This strategy is an agreement across the entire organisation on how we must operate in today’s state, where it is no longer enough simply to identify what is not working. We are therefore setting ourselves the goal that every audit should have a clear outcome: not just an identified problem, but real change. We will ensure that our conclusions are heard where decisions are made. We will assess not only whether our recommendations have been implemented, but also what has actually changed as a result of their implementation. This is where the true impact of an audit lies,” says Auditor General Irena Segalovičienė.
The National Audit Office’s strategy identifies three main directions of activity. The first is greater impact, aiming to ensure that the National Audit Office’s recommendations lead to concrete decisions and systemic changes in the public sector. The second is sustainable public finances, ensuring that fiscal decisions are data-driven and focused on long-term stability. The third is impeccable quality across all operations and greater efficiency. The institution’s internal growth in audits and assessments through the implementation of artificial intelligence solutions, the strengthening of auditors’ and analysts’ methodological and analytical capabilities, and the digitalisation of management processes.
Independence, professionalism and leadership, and responsibility for creating value for people and the state remain the core values underpinning all decisions, day-to-day activities and staff conduct.
In implementing the strategy, the National Audit Office will also strengthen cooperation with the Seimas, the Government and other institutions, with the aim of ensuring that its insights and recommendations are utilised as widely as possible when making decisions of strategic importance to the state. The new strategy reinforces the National Audit Office’s ambition to be an institution that not only evaluates but also actively contributes to the creation of a progressive, transparent and resilient state.
