Tax fraud, hunters, medical interim… The Court of Auditors will look into six areas for its first salvo of “citizen controls”announced on Monday July 11 its first president, Pierre Moscovici, in a column published in the newspaper Release. “The Court can be seized by the Parliament and the government. It appeared to us that the citizens were missing in this equation. This absence is now filled”explains the magistrate.
Following a two-month consultation conducted on its website between March and May, the institution selected six themes “large audiences and acclaimed” : the access of disabled students to school, tax evasion by individuals, public support for hunters’ federations, equality between men and women, temporary medical care and permanent care, and recourse by the State to private consulting firms. In total, 9,000 Internet users participated in this consultation and 330 controls were proposed and discussed.
“Through the resulting reports, we will try to do things differently, to put ourselves even more in the place of users of public services”promises Pierre Moscovici, who thus concretizes a commitment made when he arrived at the head of the institution in 2020.
“All of these checks will be published by the end of 2023 (or beginning of 2024)”, announces the Court of Auditors. The institution plans to renew the experience on other subjects and why not in the future, to directly involve voluntary citizens in its controls, assures Pierre Moscovici.
